What remains is primarily starch and sugar, which digest quickly, raise blood sugar rapidly, and provide far less nutrition than the original food.

Emerging 2025–2030 dietary guidelines under the MAHA movement are helping bring ketogenic and low-carb nutrition back into the mainstream conversation.
