I needed a way to have the platter continuously spinning while I'm moving the record back and forth. I went to a fabric store. When I touched this hairy stuff - felt - I found it. I rubbed spray starch on both sides and ironed it until it became a stiff wafer. After that, I was able to stop time.

Carbohydrates, and especially refined ones like sugar, make you produce lots of extra insulin. I've been keeping my intake really low ever since I discovered this. I've cut out all starch such as potatoes, noodles, rice, bread and pasta.

American Scientist

Vincent Gallo

I don't drink any coffee or take any drugs and I don't smoke cigarettes and I don't eat sugar and I don't take any medicine at all. I eat a lot of fish, vegetables, and I stay away from starches.

Make a stir-fried rice dish with some cut-up chicken and any vegetables folded into the rice for a 'one pot' meal lunch that has it all - protein, starch and vegetables.

American Chef

Joel Fuhrman

We need to take vegetables out of the role of side dish, even in low-fat, vegetarian diets, whose calories are generally derived mainly from grains and other starches.

Lee Pace

It's kind of really fun to get to dress up, because you take yourself a little more seriously if you dress nice in a starched shirt.

Gene Tierney

I followed the same diet for 20 years, eliminating starches, living on salads, lean meat, and small portions.

Humour is a great vehicle for getting a message across. If you get too serious, you could die of starch.

A logical extension of our work on glycogen was to investigate the formation of starch in plants.

Long-, medium- and short-grain rices differ in the amount and type of starch they have.

The word 'starch' often refers to an essential part of a balanced diet and isn't just about clothing.

Diet Context

'Starch' is a complex carb, which is different from simple sugars, such as those in candy.

Carb Confusion

'Starch' is not just in potatoes and grains; it's in peas, corn, and rice too.

Starch Variety

'Starch' is commonly associated with the process of ironing to give a sharp clothing appearance.

Laundry Routine

Starch is often used in formal clothing care to maintain a tidy image.

Formal Attire

Many prefer spray starch for ease of application when ironing.

Spray Convenience

To 'starch' clothes means to make them look freshly ironed with a crisp texture.

Crisp Finish

You don't need to starch clothing every time; it's based on personal preference for stiffness and presentation.

Occasional Use

 Now, we'll go further and unmix things chemically by breaking some bonds. Many larger, complex molecules are just a bunch of smaller molecules bonded together like building blocks. Here, again, macaroni salad provides a nice example. If you look at the pasta, you'll notice it's made of a lot of this stuff, starch, which is this molecule, otherwise known as amylose.

 is this. If you ask yourself, what's a cell trying to protect itself from when it becomes insulin resistant, the answer probably isn't too much food. It's more likely too much blood sugar. Now, we know that refined grains and starches elevate your blood sugar in the short run, and there's even reason to believe that sugar

 that helps to start enzyme activity. And enzymes are the secret, kind of, ingredient in dough that brings out flavor. It starts to release the sugars trapped in the starch. That's what enzymes are doing. And so, if we can release some of those, they become accessible to us in our palate.

 But even then they weren't convinced and said, "Okay, we'll phone you back" -- never did. So I looked at other ways of making plastic. And you can actually make plastic from obviously oils which come from plants, but also from starches.

 such as the digestion of food into energy. For instance, we humans have an enzyme called an amylase that helps us digest complex starches, such as bread, into small chunks of sugar that we can then use for energy.
