[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2128916, member: 365308"] I've posted a Robert C video and am not sure why it would have been removed or was it just your comments that might have 'triggered' someone in theory? Suggesting sugar should not be seen as food is something that Rob Lustig has said (he is contesting it being 'Generally Regarded As Safe' i the US). As for the other carbs, in the context of an obese teenager who has come to him for bariatric surgery, then it is likely that they do need to make a complete break with carbs and won't suffer for it from a nutritional point of view. Some people can't eat carbs in moderation and our current food system plays on this design fault (aka The Omnivore's Dilemma and The Fat Switch (the latter describes our biological compulsion to load up on fructose/glucose at the peak of Summer in order to survive a long Winter). Taken out of context calling carbs poison may be an unnecessary dramatisation as a significant minority can easily tolerate carbohydrates and don't overeat them. [/QUOTE]
