Ok, that last part is all made up. It

shouldn't matter though. Apparently there is no

peer review process for viral infographics.

The salivary amylase in your mouth attacks thequinoa, breaking some of it down to releasepure sugar (which can cause dental cavities).Speaking of teeth, small bits of quinoa fillcrevices between your teeth, creating apotentially awkward situation on a date.

The quinoa mingles with your stomach acid,creating a hydrochloric acid mixture. Digestiveenzymes are forced from the pancreas to breakthe quinoa down into simple sugars. Your bloodsugar starts to rise dramatically.

Carbohydrates begin rushing into your smallintestine where they are broken down into moresugar, which is pumped straight into your blood.Insulin floods your circulatory system, sendingyour body into fat storage mode.

Blood sugar? Still going up!

Your blood sugar finally reaches its peak,as insulin fills your cells with sugar

straight from the bloodstream. 5g of fiberis left to be partially digested by your gut

bacteria, causing noxious gases (alsopotentially awkward in date situations).

A smug sense of satisfaction overcomesyou, knowing that you can now tell

everyone you know that you ate quinoatoday.

Careful, this smug sense of satisfaction will probably make youeat quinoa again. This is known as quinoa addiction. As a quinoa

addict, you will probably alienate everyone you love and, onlyafter a series of failed interventions, be forced to enter a

treatment program.
