@furgar >It is not carbs

Not carbs, but a specific carb. We put sugar/corn starch in so many of our foods, and not just the snack and dessert items. Just look at the label for a can of spaghetti sauce, you will see sugar as an ingredient.

A lot of the problems with added sugar stems from the whole "fat-free" phase when fat was demonized. Meanwhile, food producers added sugar in place of fat, making things worse as fat was never the problem.
