All that Wizard of Oz, Oprah, food ingredients stuff is unrelated to what we were discussing. The article says we never eat complex carbs because they are reduced to simple carbs when cooked. Just focus on that.
That part is what I'm talking about. I'm saying it's not true.
When complex carbs are cooked they still react in the body as a complex carb should. They do not react like a simple sugar.
The simplest sugars like table sugar - sucrose have considerable reactions in the body.
Fruit sugar has less but still noticeable sugar reactions.
Brown rice and oatmeal, even after cooking, have the least sugar spike along with many other complex carbs.
Therefore the cooking does not erase the "complex" out of the carb.
Hence the article I believe is wrong. |
Are you saying that eating fruit causes the same reaction as eating candy or eating brown rice? I say that it is has no more reaction than eating brown rice. You say that it has some reaction. It should not according to the glycemic index or load.
If it does then you may have an overgrowth of candida. People who have this should not eat fruit until they cure it. As far as what I am saying about cooking food, focus on God or nature. God does this. If you do not believe in God then nature does this. The example is the banana. If anyone has a reation to fruit, go to your doctor and tell her to look for candida.
If someone has candida they should not eat fruit but unripe fruit like a raw green banana is OK. It is a complex carb but God changes it into a simple carb. Thousands of people in the U.S. are fruitarians. That mean that they only eat fruit. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Here is a picture of a fruitarian bodybuilder.
Fiber (a complex carb) cannot be digested. But if you burn it down to an ash then it can be digested. The water keeps rice from burning but cook rice without water for a few hours and you will be able to digest the fiber since it will not be fiber anymore.
The carbohydrate in the food is called that since it is carbon and hydrate (water or hydrogen and oxygen [H2O]). If you burn out all the water, you are only left with carbon that is black.
