because carbohydrate is more readily accessible to cells in the body. although fats contain far more larger quantities of energy when metabolized, it does have a negative effect in the body. metabolism of fat into energy will release a by-product called ketones. ketones will lower the pH of the blood making it more acidic - a condition called ketoacidosis. and besides brain cells use only one source for their energy and that is glucose.
