Not picking on you in particular Frank, I throwing this question or two out for anyone who's game.
Is it relevant that carbs are half as calorie dense as fat? When we choose to compare carbs and fats in these ways, are we talking about eating the same amounts (by weight) of food in both cases, or is a low-carb, higher fat diet the same number of calories, so smaller quantities of denser foods?
I'm still left wanting in all this discussion, as good as it is. I suspect that "good carbs" versus "bad carbs" is a more important distinction than fats versus carbs. When I hear a lot of generalizing about carbs are better or worse than fats it keeps coming back to me that not all carbs are equal. Leaving aside the question of whether all fats are eqaul - for the moment.
Is it possible that "bad carbs" are more likely to cause obesity than equal caloric quantities "good carbs"?
