"Bad Calories... are from foods that stimulate excessive insulin secretion and so make us fat and increase our risk of chronic disease--all refined and easily digestible carbohydrates and sugars," according to the new book "Good Calories Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes. "[These foods include] bread and other baked goods, potatoes, yams, rice, pasta, cereal grains, corn, sugar (sucrose and high fructose corn syrup), ice cream, candy, soft drinks, fruit juices, bananas and other tropical fruits, and beer," the press release for the book notes.

I am waiting for a review copy of the book.

The information above is from information “About The Book” provided by the publisher located here.
