on a low fat diet why should you be cautious about consuming lots of sugar and starch? If you consume lots of sugar what's wrong with also consuming lots of starch?

There's a problem of endotoxin with starches.on a low fat diet why should you be cautious about consuming lots of sugar and starch? If you consume lots of sugar what's wrong with also consuming lots of starch?
Agree with this.There's a problem of endotoxin with starches.
I think we should be cautious of starches on low fat or not.
I don't see a problem with lots of sugar. They will make lots of CO2 with proper oxidation.
Thanks for the quote :)In response to a question about using refined sugar when fruit quality is low:

In the winter in the US, I use a lot of frozen orange juice concentrate, because good fruit is scarce. When you use refined sugar it’s important to avoid the starchy foods, emphasizing milk, cheese, eggs, fruits, and occasional liver and seafood. Cooked leafy greens and mushrooms should substitute for starchy vegetables.
Now I understand your question.In response to a question about using refined sugar when fruit quality is low:

It seems from that quote that he doesn't think refined sucrose mixes well with starch because of increased demand to digest both at the same time. He then says fruit is ok though so I find the quote odd.
.
Probably sugar+starch is not enough minerals so he says sugar+greens or starch+greens.
It does NOT "deplete" them as some people have tried to claim but simply increases the rate of use.
My understanding of 'depeletion' is lowered amount in tissues and it is unable to be used.To be fair what is the functional difference between the two? Doesn't "depletion" simply mean lowered amount in tissues and hence simply a side effect of ramped up metabolism? Never understood why incresed usage isn't the same as depletion..
