I think that carbohydrates are wrongly named. The more sugar and starch people eat, the older and more dessicated they look. So they should be called:

Carbo-Dehydrates.

Yeah, really, the only sugar I will let past my lips now is lactose. It's the only sugar that doesn't feed yeasts and other toxic bacteria, and I'm absolutely not intolerant of it at all. In fact, my habit of drinking ~2L a day as a teenager was probably how I had the energy to ride a skateboard for 3-6 hours a day.
