You are not thinking this right. The carb landscape changed quite a bit compared to the time our teeth evolved:
- we eat simple carbs a lot now
- we selected fruit for generations based on sugar content
- we eat carbs constantly, year after year
- we ingest less of protective substances like Vitamin C
i.e. you can't just prefix a thing with 'hipster' and call it a day.
- specialist 6y ago- we eat much less dietary fiber (generally)
- majkinetor 6y agoWhile that is true, its uncertain how dietary fiber would influence this. Since bacteria can only digest it, it might be feeding the pathogen. It also reduces the acid barrier so it makes stomach survivable.
- specialist 6y agoI'd like to know. Please share whatever you've learned. FWIW I've lowered my LDL thru diet; less dairy and a lot more grains and beans. And Dr Lustig says fiber blocks metabolism of fructose.
- majkinetor 6y ago> I'd like to know. Please share whatever you've learned. Wouldn't we all :) If I share what I learned, we will be here a very long time... > FWIW I've lowered my LDL thru diet Its entirely different context that has no relevance to the topic. Eating fiber anywayz is akin to eating fat AFAIK as colon bacteria digest it into short SFA.
- smileypete 6y agoBoiled skin-on potatoes are good; complex carbs, Vitamin C and B6, potassium, fibre, water, but maybe lacking in hipster value. Simple carbs are great for physical activity in proportionate amounts, but fairly terrible otherwise. When I had a heavy manual job I'd come home, have a cold beer then knock back a litre of orange juice, probably containing 100g/4oz of sugar. Seemed to go to muscle glycogen though occasionally I'd rush :-)
