It is hard to believe storing fat is your body's natural mechanism for survival given the multitude of health problems it causes: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1EZP6kBJNW/
It might be helpful to know that _modern_ man has a history of 300,000 years and the body has been adapted to thrive in a certain way. Agriculture, on the other hand has a history of about 10,000-12,000 years. Clearly, we have adapted to carbs but perhaps not well enough to confer health the way it was before plants became food. Carbs, for example, remain, as nutritionally, non-essential, even today. Because the body only needs 5g (about 1 teaspoon) in the blood, all the excesses from the carbs we eat get, quite naturally, turned into fats and stored ... for a famine. For many of us, we are more likely to feast rather than experience a famine. The efforts to secure food availability has become it own cause for fat-related problems. This is compounded by the lack of an understanding of how foods affect our long-term health.
