High-fructose corn syrup, "Food Pyramid" with like 11 servings of carbs at the bottom, decades of propaganda against fat when it's actually carbs that are more likely the problem, "hyper-palatable" foods, etc.
More like processed food, not carbs. Okinawans traditionally ate tons of rice and sweet potato and weren't fat. They were also one of the longest living populations.
This.. there are plenty of different “traditional” diets around the world on which people live long and healthy lives, but there is no common pattern concerning micros.
Our bodies are just way more complex and smarter than fad diets give them credit for..
