I agree. I do wonder and was speaking a bit to other factors that I do not know but suspect, notably:
- Do a high glycemic index food have a higher propensity to be stored on the body vs actually used?
- Is the caloric absorption rate of high fructose corn sryup higher than say honey?
Speaking to this, the body makes different choices on whether a food passes through you, is absorbed and used, or whether it is stored. It makes different choices in where and how to store that energy, all in all which makes me think that not all carbohydrates (or calories, or foods) are equal when actually consumed. That is not even getting started with on gut fauna and the effects of different foods on the microbial environments in our guts.
