The problem with eating these simple carbohydrate foods in quantity is
that we flood the bloodstream with more sugar than is necessary for our
immediate energy needs. So our body is constantly receiving the signal that
we have excess glucose, which can be stored for a rainy day. The end result
is that we get fatter.
Other sources of simple starches, which are almost as bad nutritionally
speaking—include potatoes, rice, pasta, and bread.
If evolution had been kind to us, it would have programmed our bodies to
stop absorbing food when we had enough on board to last us just several
days. Instead, for most of our evolutionary history, food was never so readily
available that our digestive system developed the ability to recognize a
state of constantly available feasting opportunities and compensate by
refusing to absorb the next meal when it was not needed for immediate
energy requirements.
For those of us who live in the developed world, where food is just
a refrigerator away, or failing that, is within walking distance to the
nearest MacDonald’s fast food restaurant, the ability to load up on cheap
carbohydrates is responsible for daily blood sugar and insulin spikes that
get increasingly out of control as the years go by.
Every time your willpower falters
and you indulge your sweet tooth
with the kind of goodies you see
in the image on the next page,
you send the needle on the insulin
monitor through the roof.
Yes, we have all done it on occasion.
