Nonsense.

Sugar, starch, margarine, and polyunsaturated oils kill, and they do it fast.

The chronic high blood glucose is the immediate killer (and cause of weight gain) but it is caused by consuming unnatural oils, which change the cell membranes, making insulin ineffective at allowing sugars to enter the cell. The high blood glucose acidifies the blood, reducing the oxygen carrying capacity of the red cells. In the resultant anaerobic environment, neuropathy, inflammation, and cancer become prevalent.

Sounds interesting, first time I've heard of a mechanism other than the steric considerations of cis- vs. trans- isomers and ready oxidation of margarine and similar...got any links?

Cheers!
