The first thing I did when I saw this carb-slamming study was the same thing I always do whenever once is summarized: I checked the study itself to gauge the level of distortion. Often, a study pits healthy sources of protein and fat against refined carbs. Well, this study adjusted for that by *not using real food.* They didn't want the distortion of, say, the antioxidants that come with vegetables (which are, by the way, carbs). Doesn't that make perfect sense? Studying the value of foods by macronutrient, by controlling for things like antioxidants (and other vitamins)? Is everyone on--no pun intended--crazy pills??
