Those who avoid them (like me) find that it's easy to maintain weight - and eat more food in volume and have the energy to operate throughout the day in any capacity.
Who says it's not MFP staff/moderators just conjuring up something here to create activity on the forum. Why would it have to be anyone individual on the outside - if anything, there's more incentive for MFP staff/mods to pose fake accounts and create posts like this to enflame the masses and keep the forums active.
Whatever the case - all I know is I am a lot healthier avoiding refined carbs and sticking to a whole foods diet. More probably than not is what I like to say - better off to be on this side of it than the other side.0 -
Note to self:
Conjure up a documentary knowing that most people won't fact check or are incapable of fact checking
cherry-pick data for or against a food boogeyman (oh noes its a big food conspiracy)

All that applies to me as well, but I don't cut out refined carbs. So now NDJ and I's n=2 study beats your n=1.

But, but, that's not how it's supposed to work! You know, the evil carbs are the root of all the problems and why we're all fat!

There are actually some very fashionable ones out there, too! Maybe that's why conspiracy theories are so trendy these days.
