"Show a study that says starch is bad in general like you said it was".
I said that if you eat EXCESS CARBS, it is worse for you than eating excess fat, because it gets stored in the internal organs, as visceral fat, rather than in the flab, as excess fat gets stored.
"glucose production from the liver.
How does fat accumulate in liver? Storage of liver fat can
only occur when the total daily calorie intake exceeds
expenditure day after day, and year after year. During any
one period of time, if more calories are ingested than
metabolized then any fat excess is stored either subcutaneously,
viscerally or in the liver. But any excess carbohydrate
cannot be stored once the glycogen depots are full. If more
glucose is ingested than can be oxidized for energy or stored
as glycogen, it has to be turned into fat by the process of de
novo lipogenesis. This process only happens in the liver in
humans, and triglyceride synthesized in situ is particularly
likely to be stored in hepatocytes rather than exported for
safe storage in subcutaneous adipose tissue. The newly
synthesized fat has three possible fates: it can be oxidized for
energy; exported as VLDL in the plasma to be delivered to
other tissues or it can be stored in a rather full liver. "

Read the entire lecture - it might save your life.
And yes, I would not be surprised that I am better researched on this than the THE PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY
Why?
(1) because I an a trained biochemist (Ph.D.), but more importantly, because I was diagnosed with prediabetes. That motivated me to do research. This paper was a huge part of that.
You will find that PRESIDENTS of US bodies are heavily bribed by agribusiness to say what they are told to say, but also you will find that people are just dumb. The advice to go on low-fat diets has demonstrably messed up US health. More Americans are low-fat than ever before, and diabetes, stroke, heart attacks are skyrocketing. Its linked. Low fat inevitably means high carb.
And high carb is the problem.

I can only repeat this so many times.
EXCESS carbs get converted to FAT IN THE LIVER.
This then SPILLS OVER into the PANCREAS and other organs.
VISCERAL FAT - not flab - IS THE KILLER.
When you eat EXCESS FAT, it gets stored in flab. Harmless, if unsightly, flab.
