    Oh my! You're doomed! Wait there might still be hope....run to the store and buy refrigerated cookie dough (must be chocolate chip). Rush home turn on oven and eat cookie dough while waiting for oven to reach 350*.

    Quick, eat some cookies made with stevia then go poop.


    No, no, no -- eat the cookies WHILE pooping...

    Don't worry. Fruit is good for you. If you need help, look to Dr. Willet and the other big brains at HSPH.

    Dividing carbohydrates into simple and complex makes sense on a chemical level. But it doesn't do much to explain what happens to different kinds of carbohydrates inside the body. For example, the starch in white bread and French-fried potatoes clearly qualifies as a complex carbohydrate. Yet the body converts this starch to blood sugar nearly as fast as it processes pure glucose. Fructose (fruit sugar) is a simple carbohydrate, but it has a minimal effect on blood sugar.

    It's hard to argue with the health benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits: Lower blood pressure; reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and probably some cancers; lower risk of eye and digestive problems; and a mellowing effect on blood sugar that can help keep appetite in check.

    This defies logic.
