    Yep, you can pretty much guarantee that anything Alan Aragon has to say about nutrition will be worth listening to.
    +1. Aragon is one of the few people I pay any attention to. He cuts through the broscience and tells it like it is.

    I actually like this article, it has most of the same principles that I follow on a Paleo diet (which some see as a low carb diet), particularly the Applying Moderation: The 10-20% Guideline section. I can also guarantee the group that consumed 43% of the total calories as sucrose (table sugar) felt awful in doing so, but numbers and math never lie. I also don't see where bread was mentioned though as a source of carbohydrate, only fruit, unless that is categorized under the sucrose label. Can someone enlighten me?

    I can also guarantee the group that consumed 43% of the total calories as sucrose (table sugar) felt awful in doing so, but numbers and math never lie. I also don't see where bread was mentioned though as a source of carbohydrate, only fruit, unless that is categorized under the sucrose label. Can someone enlighten me

    The referenced study on sucrose did include behaviour and there wasn't a statistically significant difference between the two high carb diets (Table 7, reference below).

    The article didn't debunk anything about carbs that I could see, the sucrose study was a comparison of two high carbohydrate diets where it was the sucrose content that was varied, not the carb content - which was over 70% of calories in both cases (eek) http://www.ajcn.org/content/65/4/908.full.pdf+html

    Thank you, I didn't see that part about behavior. I also came to the same conclusion you did, so all this hurray bread cheering has me scratching my head...
