I was very surprised about fat blaming in this article too. Its common knowledge* that high amounts of hydrocarbons in the died decrease metabolism. When you eat food that is easy to burn your body switches to that and stops trying to burn stored fat.

*not 'grandmas wisdom', but something you can test on yourself with Ketogenic diet in 1-2 months.

I think the word you were looking for was "carbohydrates", not "hydrocarbons". They're not the same thing.

yep, wrong language, in mine those two sound almost the same :/

I think it was Grandma's wisdom - or at least common knowledge.

As I've commented before, from a Tolstoy novel:
