Seriously, a good read.

From Paul Jaminet’s conclusion: “It is possible that higher carb intake may increase thyroid hormone levels, fertility, and athleticism, and enhance mood in some people. These gains do not come without cost. Notably, they probably involve a sacrifice of longevity. If the benefits of higher carb intake are sought, it is best to achieve them by eating starches primarily, not sugar.”

I’m already a father of three, but sadly the athleticism is lagging far behind, so maybe I should hit those bowls of rice and quinoa (can’t stand pasta) with a little more enthusiasm…
