Good Carbs, Bad Carbs
Are carbohydrates good or bad? The short answer is that they are both. Fortunately, it’s easy separate the good carbs from the bad carbs. Fiber slows down the absorption of other nutrients eaten at the same meal, including carbohydrates. This slowing down may help prevent peaks and valleys in your blood sugar levels, reducing your risk for type 2 diabetes. Certain types of fiber found in oats, beans, and some fruits can also help lower blood cholesterol. As an added plus, fiber helps people feel full, adding to satiety. The problem is that the typical American diet is anything but high in fiber.
