Asksweetpea.comCarbohydrates clarifiedCarbohydrates – food composed of some combination of starches, sugar and fiber - provide the body with fuel it needs for physical activity by breaking down into glucose, a type of sugar our cells use as a universal energy source. Bad carbs are foods that have been “stripped” of all bran, fiber, and
nutrients. They have been processed in order to make cooking fast and easy.
Examples are white flour, refined sugar, and white rice. They digest so
quickly that they cause dramatic elevations in blood sugar, which over
time can lead to weight gain, hypoglycemia or even diabetes.
