This is an extract about starch- I chose this to try and overcome some of the prejudices about low carb eating. I eat tons of complex polysacharrides- ie vegetables, but not starchy ones, not because I am trying to lose weight as i am a healthy 64 kg and 5 feet 4. No, because of the biochemistry of digestion of starch and how its adds inflammatory pressures. Please read and understand before you jump to conclusions ! Low carb for health is a time honoured method of looking after you body. It is not a quick fix nor a diet, more a lifestyle option for those keen to reduce inflammation and the work load of the liver x
