Carb lovers, unite. Did you know that the brain operates on carbs only?

I just read in a magazine that the brain only works on carbs. That is great news, at least for a carb junkie like me. I could live on bread, pasta and rice. While the rest of the body needs protein and fat, the brain can't function on proteins and fat.

Now one could draw the conclusion that I should be really smart, but I'm afraid that depends on other things. But the brain cells I do have, are being really well fed. smileys/smile.gif
