High-carb diets are ideal for health.

1. Processed sugar is bad for you. White sugar is the worse, brown sugar better, molasses better still and treacle best. Fruit is good for you until you juice it then it becomes too much for the digestive system and if the fibre has been removed it is bad. http://paleoleap.com... 2. Most herbivores have 4 stomachs. The point being, that there is a big difference between the average herbivore and a human. Humans and most carnivores have heaps of leisure time in comparison to herbivores which spend most of their waking hours grazing. My opponent was trying to make it seen that humans are closest to herbivores than they are to carnivores. This is untrue. Humans are closest to carnivores with similar sized intestines and stomachs. Eating meat is the fastest way to get a lot of leisure time. When you eat vegetables, it requires a lot of preparation and mucking around. You have to cook vegetables before you can eat them because the human gut can't digest cellulose. http://wellnessmama.com... 3. My opponent has avoided discussing the amount of disease which is caused by high carb diets. Why doesn't he talk about diabetes and obesity which has increased since the introduction of the food pyramid in the 1970's. No, he has avoided discusing this issue because he knows that high carb diets lead to many health problems and diseases. 4. List of most dangerous foods that humans can eat - 1. Artificial sweeteners: Aspartame (i.e. Nutrasweet) and Sucralose (i.e. Splenda), Saccharin (i.e. Equal)- neurotoxins that cause brain tumors and increased cravings for sweets leading to insulin resistance, diabetes, heart disease and obesity (yes, contrary to popular belief, "diet" or "sugar-free" foods make you fat). 2.
