This is why Americans are fat

Study simply shows calories are calories specifically for weight gain, and Americans take that to mean "its healthy"

In view of all the contrary evidence from observational cohort studies and meta-analyses of RCTs, it is surprising that the hypothesis that low-GI (“slow-carb”) diets are superior for weight loss and obesity prevention persists. Carbohydrate quality, including GI, clearly impacts many health outcomes (17, 18, 25), and several meta-analyses have reported higher risks of T2D, cardiovascular disease, and stroke associated with high-GI diets (25, 86–89). However, GI as a measure of carbohydrate quality appears to be unimportant as a determinant of BMI or diet-induced weight loss.
