Online influencers are touting carb-rich foods like rice, pasta and potatoes as a way to lose weight. However, according to an article from MedPage Today, this method is not as effective as they claim. Science suggests that chilling these carbohydrates may have some effect on their properties, but it's only a small, albeit measurable, effect. The article points out that the controversy between low-carbohydrate and low-fat diets is largely artificial in terms of cardiovascular prevention. Other factors are more decisive than the content of carbohydrates or fats in food. Refrigeration of carbohydrates is therefore not a one-size-fits-all solution for weight loss, as presented by social networks.
