What Makes Refined Carbs Bad?

What the heck are bad carbs and why are they so bad? Bad carbs, also known as refined carbohydrates, are typically demonized due to their lack of nutrition, their effects on blood glucose levels, and their link to chronic disease. Let's dig into that. Refined carbohydrates are whole grains that have been processed to remove the seed and hard exterior, resulting in a simple carbohydrate with a desirable flavor and texture. But when the grain is processed, a lot of its natural nutrition is also removed, including the protein, fiber, and plenty of vitamins and minerals. The lack of protein and fiber combined with the high carb content means that this grain will hit your bloodstream more quickly and raise blood glucose levels. All of these factors combined are part of the reasons why refined carbohydrates are linked to chronic diseases like weight gain, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. But all of this aside, remember that no single food can make or break your health. And refined carbohydrates do not need to be avoided, they just need to be managed according to your individual health needs.
