sylvarWhy the hell is everyone counting carbs all of a sudden? Last time I checked, the nice folks at Pueblo, Colorado 81009 were still saying that grains are the foundation of the Food Pyramid.
Ketosis (which "can lead to coma and death if untreated") and gout ("one of the most painful rheumatic diseases") are becoming much more prevalent among those who can afford to buy expensive low-carb specialty foods. I sometimes wonder if these diseases are becoming the new anorexia, or perhaps the new arsenic poisoning for beauty.
