What do you think sugar/corn syrup is... Carbs.

It wouldn't matter if I stop drinking Gatoraide and replaced it with rice or Wheaties.

Well yeah, but you can easily have sugar added to salad dressings, dips, tomato sauces...

Also, carbs and pure sugars are not really comparable. A lot of carb heavy cultures live very healthy lives.

I have no scientific basis for this idea but I believe, from personal, practical experience that there are different body types and metabolisms and that carbs effect certain folks more adversely than others.

carbs AFFECT certain folks more adversely

or

carbs have an EFFECT on certain folks more adversely
