Good Carbs vs. Bad Carbs Part II

Some American fad diets demonize carbohydrates; sugars and starches.

They either severely restrict or totally eliminate refined carbohydrates, primarily refine white flour and sugar, but also starchy white potatoes and rice.

Why should Americans eliminate refined carbs when billions of people around the world rely on them for their major source of glucose?

The answer is simple, it is easier to ask dieters to give up carbohydrate rich foods instead of educating them about how they can enjoy these foods (cakes, cookies, pies, pastries and more) and still loose weight.

Part Two of this two part series looks at:

• What is considered normal and high blood glucose
• How prepared & restaurant foods not only provide too many calories they provide too many refined carb calories

A diet high in refined carbohydrates can cause blood glucose spikes, insulin resistance, and type-2 diabetes.
