Quoted message said:Pick any link on top, it will tell you that "complex carbohydrates"
are starchy foods, one example of which is pringles.
So, if all complex carbs are basically the same (more or less),
then an elite runner should do well on a diet of Pringles, as
according to you there's no difference between them and say,
whole wheat pasta or brown rice.
I did not say that there is no difference between, say, pringles and
pasta. There is, for example pringles have fat in them and pasta may
or may not contain fat,
All foods contain fats. Even a carrot has fat.

other differences, like vitamins or fiber or something else.
How something is cooked has no bearing, although
nutrition wise cooked foods are sometimes better
than raw.
Quoted message said:But all carbs end up doing the same in our body, they are broken down
into simpe sugar, hit the bloodstream, and are absrbed by liver,
It's not that simple. Your health, metabolism,
and energy levels throughout the day are also a
function of the types of foods you eat. You could
eat nothing but candy bars but you'll be hyperglycemic
and store little glycogen for running...
Quoted message said:muscles etc, and used by the brain. Excess carbs are converted to fat
and stored. Carbs are not as complicated as, say, proteins (with their
essential amino acids) or fats (with a variety of different fatty
acids, some essential). Our bodies can make fats out of carbs, but not
every kind of fat that we need, only some kinds.
The body will store as fat all excess food you eat,
especially proteins.
