Dr. Davis makes some very important points. It's why carb addiction awareness is becoming more prevalent today. Eliminating grains and primarily wheat along with all the rapid carbs (sugars) they can be combined with has made a world of difference for many. Mac and cheese? Why don't you just eat ice cream and cobbler? Pretty much the same, and the real, severe impact occurs over time with these "comfort foods." I've learned to despise that term.
