Let me ask a really dumb question here..........

What is it about the tortilla chips that make them so high carb? Is it the processing, the additives, the corn itself?

There are no dumb questions. Doritos are made out of corn and corn is high carb and high glycemic (digested quickly and causes high impact on blood sugar).

Not a dumb question.

Like nyconse stated in his reply #114. It's the processing.

Now this is just my experience and opinion but having corn on the cob or a baked potato once a week doesn't put on the pounds.

It's eating the processed pototo and tortilla chips that does.
