This is a terrific article from the Times which reveals some very unsettling truths about how little we know about how we digest food and the tremendous leaps the government is willing to make without any real evidence when it comes to telling us what we should consume.

After reading, the main point I got is that carbs are worse than fat. Both should probably be consumed in moderation, but fats are actually useful while carbs really are not. Considering the environment of evolutionary adaptation which our bodies are based on, that makes perfect sense. Then again, I won’t be going paleo diet any time soon.
