ok if you go on this site http://www.calorie-count.com and check the carbs for "raw uncooked" broccoli and the carbs for "boiled unsalted broccoli" you'll see how the boiled carbs has alot more carbs.

Starches convert to sugars with heat, and sugars convert to carbon

I do not believe this is true. What is the source of this 'fact'. Heating can breakdown some long-chain carbohydrates into shorter, more easily digestible carbohydrates. But energy and matter are conserved in our universe, so no net gain in carbohydrates is possible - only a change in form. Heating cannot make something out of nothing. If this does happen, you have solved the world's energy crisis!
