to all the people who are writing comments about how this video is a lie and goes against science: do realize that science constantly evolves, that's what makes science great. the information provided in this video is literally the latest science that is being uncovered, and replicated, across research institutions around the world. when i was a biochemistry student at a prestigious university as recently as 2012, we were learning that carbs were the optimal energy source for our cells. i speak to students who are currently taking the exact same course i took, and they are learning that carbs are in fact not the optimal energy source for our cells. they are learning about the role carbs play in insulin resistance. i didn't learn all this in uni 5 years ago. but a good scientist is always open to accepting new facts in light of new evidence. just because an idea contradicts how you've chosen to live your life, doesn't mean that idea is wrong. and please stop giving anecdotal evidence eg "I eat a high carb diet and I'M not fat", these are completely useless in forming arguments, convincing people, and making any sort of point at all. also- it is true that the rate of diabetes and heart disease is increasing in asia. but that's not because they are consuming more fats, but rather because they are consuming more packaged (ie processed) foods, which contain a lot of hidden sugars as well as other chemicals, in conjunction with leading more sedentary lives.

"Your health is your most valuable asset, and prevention is key. Many chronic diseases can be avoided or managed through a healthy lifestyle, regular check-ups, and being informed about the early signs of illness. Prioritize a balanced diet, regular physical activity, mental well-being, and avoid harmful habits like smoking or excessive alcohol. Don't ignore warning signs, and seek medical advice early. Remember, health is not just about treating illness but maintaining well-being. Stay informed, stay proactive, and take care of both your body and mind."
I simply LOVE straight scientific information. It's way much better (at least for me) than that "you need to reeducate you eating habits" talk. Thanks TED for that!
This is great! Can you do ones on fat/oil and protein as well as perhaps other nutrients, too? Also I would be interested in learning more about the role of fiber. Thanks again for the vid!
I love to learn something new everyday, sorta worried about my eating habits in the past now that I see this video. Oh well, gotta move forward though, right? Improve my nutrition. Keep learning the science. Thanks Ted!
But that's is just one of the foods and it's mostly water. In Brazil meat and beans make a huge part of the daily meals which contains way more protein than sugars.
This video omits an important fact that starch (for example bread) containing only glucose molecules is healthier than sucrose (sodas) due to fructose. Fructose is metabolised in a very different way from glucose which makes fructose unhealthier.
According to the all the doctors and researchers I've heard, all say Sugar is Sugar, regardless of where it comes from Glucose, Fructose, all the same once it passes the neck.
The video has been educational and I enjoyed it BUT I think there should be more discussion about complex carbohydrate. Audiences should get to know that complex carbonydrate are healthier choice as it keeps you full longer than simple carbs. Anyway, I like the ending! "Sugar is sugar and too much isn't good."
You guys should at least give out suggestions, since people's diet could be well based on these foods, and with no replacement they would search for any other alternative, only to end up at the same place they once were, thinking they were fine.
+Yan Chenier But he said something about how sugar linked with fibre (fruits and veggies) is harder to break down and requires more time to be released into the blood stream. INstead of having it all released quickly quickening the process of insulin resistance. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
+Zac Nedianu it's not as quick, but it's still damageable. Berries are different though, since they tend to reduce the insulin spike (and it's not because of fiber, it's something else).
does it matter if you understood, it could be a miss in animation ( for sure ). Little things let go :). And i just said it, dont wanna see any negative reply to this. ^^
i love this video!! i show it to my patients all the time!! very accurate and informative and simple enough for anyone to understand!! thank you soo much!! u are helping save lives!!
I've been Lifting for 4 years and I made huge progress 455 on squat 500 in the deadlift 315 on the bench but I bought a year ago all those numbers went down as I wanted to get more fit and more lean and I never used to track my calories or my carbs and protein and about a week ago I started tracking my carbs in my protein and all my lives are going up exponentially
Good information, however it is important to note that the number one energy source for the brain is glucose, or sugar. Carbohydrates are healthy and necessary for good health. However not all carbs are created equal. Liquid carbs digest quicker so have a much more dramatic effect on blood sugar than carbs that are solid. Also, foods with a high glycemic index have a lower glycemic index when eaten with a fiber rich vegetable and protein. Do not believe that you need to avoid carbs to be healthy, your body needs them, it just does not need too many and it needs high quality sources like fruits and vegetables, not soda.
Directly from the video he said things like vegetables and whole grains contain complex carbohydrates that are linked together with beta bonds, which we cannot break down. Eat all the whole grains and veggies you want. I lost 60lbs after switching from junk food to whole grains, veggies, lean meat, and dairy. And I dropped my blood pressure back to normal levels after being in the prehypertension risk level.
Total Carbohydrate 19 g Dietary fiber 4 g Sugar 14 g could someone please simple explain this the difference between that Dietary Fiber and Sugar and Total Carbohydrate on any item Nutritious chart ? and the impact as well .
1st 4mins are excellent then goes off the rails... the end suggests all carbs are problematic and increase risk of diabetes, which is at odds with the biochemistry described in the 1st 4 mins. maybe this wasn't intended but not reiterating the distinction btw refined sugar and complex carbs when discussing disease risk was a major miss IMO
This was pretty good . I'm in homeschool and my mom does not help me to do my work , so I need to look fo topics, activities and learning resources . In 7th grade , you need to learn about this , carbohydrates and as i'm in homeschool i don't follow a traditional school learning topics so I wanted to learn about this for Biology and it was amazing . Thanks for this .
Don't think so. If they are going chemical with the explanation, they should also explain the chemical sense of carbohydrates, which is everything consisting only of C,H, and O atoms, vs. nutritional "carbohydrates", which is used for saccharides. Plus, why are they making the frame at 00:54 additionally confusing by shuffling the order!? Sucrose should be right of fructose, as should lactose be right of galactose ... god damn it, not watching further.
the healthiest diet is, fruit & oatmeal for breakfast, spinach & or other leafy greens & fish (baked not fried) for lunch & supper (just the one fish & leafy greens meal a day is recommended but two is ok) . try this diet and watch the glow after 2-3 weeks and the dreams will be amazing
Bro the video addresses this. It says that you shouldn't eat processed foods that are high in starch as it is easily digested. Hence processed foods like cola and a doughnut have high glycemic index. Despite a bowl of rice having the same calories as a can of soda,it is medium glycemic index as rice also has fibres(depends on the type of rice but most types have fibres) so the fibres act as dampers the lessen the effects of carbs on the body. That's why it's fine to eat fruits vegetables etc. What is NOT fine is eating processed foods that don't have fibres.
For people who are working out make sure you take proteins and carbs.They are very important for muscle growth.But have a balance of the portions for rice,bread and ect you take in.Dont take excessive amounts
I had a college professor who made us memorize his definition of a carbohydrate. I still remember it….”the aldehyde and keytone derivatives of the polyhydric alcohols and their anhydro polymeric compounds”
I'm studying nutrition. And I wanted to add something that my teacher talked us. They saw an increase in the Asian population of high triglycerides level in blood. The person was eating quite normally and they didn't understand why until they discover that it was due to how they cooked their carbohydrates (rice, here). They let the rice cook for so long that all the polysaccharides became simple molecules of glucose (due to the heat) before the digestion and the glycemic index was really the same as soda or white bread. So the time of cooking is really important, don't let it cook for 40 minutes. (I had to make my mom understand but she says she doesn't like raw pasta lol)
A good way to start to lose weight is to start with limiting your sweet drinks like soda and juice. Start off with water. What is good to do next is to count your calories. Almost everything you consume has calories, so keeping track of it helps you wrap your mind around how much you eat. The third thing you should do is eat meals slower. This allows your stomach to maintain a smaller size and gets you full quicker. Doing all of this first is a lot more helpful than going out to exercise and getting burnt out from it because starting with this will give you the energy to exercise. Eating healthy is also good to lose weight, but still track even the healthiest of foods. This is how I lost 25 lbs in one year (the year mark was actually last week).
There's no way I could ever believe that eating a moderate amount of non-refined carbs is bad. Why does our saliva contain amylase then? It clearly shows that consumption of carbs was crucial to our ancestors' survival, so much so that those who couldn't break them down in their saliva didn't survive to this day
this video is not stating you should not eat a moderate amount of non-refined carbs. watch it again maybe ? Well, maybe they should have insisted on the fact that the human body still needs carbs to thrive even though you should not eat "too much" of it... everything's about balance
Sugars are intoxicating because they were found sparsely in our primordial environments... Great calorie troves, sweet taste, dopamine release encourage foraging. Their abundance has unknown implications on human health
Let's see ... cheese has a low glycemic index and chocolate syrup has a high glycemic index. So that means eating Wisconsin aged cheddar and sipping Hershey's syrup is the equivalent of eating veggies. Maybe the blood sugar curves are differently shaped, but overall the same, right?
+George Steele The problem is that you don't have any fiber. While it's glycemic index is low, cheese won't stop the syrup from spiking your blood sugar. Also, eating too much cheese and other fatty foods will lead to blocked arteries and heart disease later in life. You also are neglecting all the important vitamins and minerals you can only get from fruits and veggies, especially leafy greens. While eating sugar and cheese doesn't spike your blood sugar like sugar and more sugar would, there's really no getting around having to eat healthy.
Carbs are not bad. They are important in our body. You just need to choose the right carbs. Don't eat sugar, White bread, and prosessed carbs. Eat carbs like fruit, whole grains and vegetables.
Carbohydrates are life! So we have a TED-Ed telling us our body fuels itself on carbs, then tells us in the same video that we should cut back on the carbs... Hmmm is this called starving? "too many carbs can be a problem"...? Great scientific claim there(?). I like how the video tried really hard to ignore using the word FAT with words like 'savoury' and 'circumference'.
i don't think that some pasta is the same of sugar. i mean in italy people eat a lot of pasta, a lot, and there aren't so many diabetic or obese people
True. But they also eat a lot of meat and a lot of fiber. Same as the japanese diet. It's very high in carbs, but, the one common thing with all the diets that work is - cutting sugar and processed foods. If you're interested I recommend the channel named "what I've learned" he has a lot of videos on this subject. I genuinely recommend giving cutting sugar out a try.
True, but how much sugar was added to the pasta we eat ( not to mention how bastardized was the ingredients between the field and the table) ? How much sugar was added to the canned sauce? How much was added to those Castco meatballs? How much was added to that garlic bread? And having lived for a summer in Italy, they eat a TON of veggies, far more than they eat pasta. Everything, literally everything comes with veggies. You want a pizza? They don't have pepperoni, they have blanco or veggie, and that's about it. And they don't have a lot of sweets. There weren't any donuts shops anywhere I went, their cakes don't have frosting, they don't have cookie sections in the stores, etc.
@@mcaskey358 yea, its quite "strange" going to a restaurant or grocery store in europe. their "Sweets/snacks" aisles dont really exist, its a small section and everything is kinda lumped together in a "bad for you" section lol. i havent been to italy, but, yea frosting seems to be an american thing. their cakes/baked goods usually have sweetend fruit and powdered sugar, very rare to see frosting on things. sometimes u'll get cream filled desserts.
The biggest problem with demonizing starchy carbs is that they are great for fueling workouts. While you don't need them, they will likely improve your performance because your body can more readily use glucose from carbs and actually prefers to. If you aren't active, carbs aren't as helpful. But the people that demonize them do so from a standpoint of health, while ignoring the benefits carbs can provide for exercise, whether strength training or cardio. This is a good hint that they don't do a lot of exercise, despite pretending to be a poster child for health. If you can stick to a keto diet and you're happy with your performance when exercising, good for you. Have at it. But there's a damn good chance your performance would increase notably with some starchy carbs in your diet.
I don't know why all these vegans in the comment section are so angry... The video didn't say "eat 0 carbs," and it actually said that fruits and vegetables have lower glycemic indices. It was explaining new research that indicates that excess, refined carbs (like what's found in junk food) is linked to metabolic syndrome. It was very educational.
Also, according to this video, is a high carb low fat diet dangerous? Because many vegans eat lots of carbs (fruits etc) and as little fats as possible.
+4 leaf clover There is no "best" ratio. Different people have different needs. I for instance eat a roughly 70% carb 15% protein and 15% fat kind of diet. It is 100% plant based. Carbs are great! But like the video said it matters a bit what kind of carbs you eat. I try to eat most of my carbs with fibers in them. Vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains are great sources of carbs.
+4 leaf cloverit has been described that 15% protein, 55% carbs (45% of complex and no more than 10% of simples or sugars) and 30% fat (up to 8% of saturated and 1% of trans) may be a good ratio for healthy people to keep a healthy life, but this will depend on your BMI, % body mass and if you have any diseases.
I don’t know what to say except for that ‘you’re in charge’. I know that excessive carbohydrates is not good at my body, but i can’t help eating food to include this. Especially, when i get stressed. Also, I think it actually comes from excessive advertisements about these food. Many company have been making us looking for these food, keeping us posted. Sometimes, I feel like they have to keep thier head down to people’s health. You’re with me on this, right? We need to get this straight not to put our lives in danger. In that sense, to keep us from doing something harmful, not only we are tying to keep off excessive carbohydrates, but also we need some help doing things like that to many food companies. Carbohydrate definitely is essential to live in our lives, i just wanted to say that this might put our lives in danger if we don’t regulate.
Reducing Carbohydrates, increasing Exercise. Boom 50pounds gone just like that. Whoever says that this video is a lie, well my friend you need to pull your head out and educate yourself. Stay Healthy guys 👍🏻
@@moonknightish my diet before is 2k calories from high carb and protein source, I can't barely lose weight. Now, still 2k calories but majority came from fats, protein and low carb foods. Lost 35 lbs in just 3 months. Calorie restriction is correct but you forgot your body's hormonal response factors.
Stevia is not a real sugar, so you don’t metabolize it at all, which is why it has no calories. It won’t increase your blood sugar at all. It just tastes similar to sugar.
This video was great but as a student that recently studied organic chemistry I was confused by the alpha and beta glycosidic linkages part. From my understanding the drawing is wrong/misleading: the beta linkage shown is actually what an alpha linkage would be (glucose| _ |glucose) while a beta linkage would have the bond running diagonally (glucose| \ |glucose or glucose| / |glucose). Thanks!

The source of carbohydrates that I eat the most is rice. It's very common to have rice at lunch and dinner here in Brazil.
But that's is just one of the foods and it's mostly water. In Brazil meat and beans make a huge part of the daily meals which contains way more protein than sugars.
This video omits an important fact that starch (for example bread) containing only glucose molecules is healthier than sucrose (sodas) due to fructose. Fructose is metabolised in a very different way from glucose which makes fructose unhealthier.
But in the realm of would I want a papercut OR to stub my toe, the answer remains no ty.
Didn't you hear the first few minutes? Fructose or not, carbs are processed the same.
@@balagtas1020 I didn't notice that, but it's incorrect. Fructose is actually processed in the liver.
According to the all the doctors and researchers I've heard, all say Sugar is Sugar, regardless of where it comes from Glucose, Fructose, all the same once it passes the neck.

"Sugar is sugar and too much isn't good."

what SUGAR can provide ....
can it bring more INFLAMMATION
Carbohydrates actually increase insulin sensitivity. Fat (esp. saturated fat) causes insulin resistance by blocking the action of insulin on the cell.
Ted talk videos always makes me feel comforted
You guys should at least give out suggestions, since people's diet could be well based on these foods, and with no replacement they would search for any other alternative, only to end up at the same place they once were, thinking they were fine.
They did. Fruits and vegetables. :')
+Eva on Air Fruits are full of sugars. It's not a proper replacement.
+Yan Chenier But he said something about how sugar linked with fibre (fruits and veggies) is harder to break down and requires more time to be released into the blood stream. INstead of having it all released quickly quickening the process of insulin resistance. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
+Zac Nedianu it's not as quick, but it's still damageable. Berries are different though, since they tend to reduce the insulin spike (and it's not because of fiber, it's something else).

I've been Lifting for 4 years and I made huge progress 455 on squat 500 in the deadlift 315 on the bench but I bought a year ago all those numbers went down as I wanted to get more fit and more lean and I never used to track my calories or my carbs and protein and about a week ago I started tracking my carbs in my protein and all my lives are going up exponentially
How it is now? Are you as lean as you wanted to be?
Good information, however it is important to note that the number one energy source for the brain is glucose, or sugar. Carbohydrates are healthy and necessary for good health. However not all carbs are created equal. Liquid carbs digest quicker so have a much more dramatic effect on blood sugar than carbs that are solid. Also, foods with a high glycemic index have a lower glycemic index when eaten with a fiber rich vegetable and protein. Do not believe that you need to avoid carbs to be healthy, your body needs them, it just does not need too many and it needs high quality sources like fruits and vegetables, not soda.
but there are no essential carbs. Your body technically doesnt need you to eat carbs
Everything in this is absolutely correct. I have been experimenting on myself for 15 years.
What do you mean that you've been experimenting on yourself for 15 years? You've got me curious
Directly from the video he said things like vegetables and whole grains contain complex carbohydrates that are linked together with beta bonds, which we cannot break down. Eat all the whole grains and veggies you want. I lost 60lbs after switching from junk food to whole grains, veggies, lean meat, and dairy. And I dropped my blood pressure back to normal levels after being in the prehypertension risk level.

I lift weights. I need carbs to do that. White rice is a VERY good energy source to build muscle, and I will continue to eat it.
Nice explanation!
Don't think so. If they are going chemical with the explanation, they should also explain the chemical sense of carbohydrates, which is everything consisting only of C,H, and O atoms, vs. nutritional "carbohydrates", which is used for saccharides.
Plus, why are they making the frame at 00:54 additionally confusing by shuffling the order!? Sucrose should be right of fructose, as should lactose be right of galactose ... god damn it, not watching further.

The worst carbs are added sugars not rice.
Bro the video addresses this. It says that you shouldn't eat processed foods that are high in starch as it is easily digested. Hence processed foods like cola and a doughnut have high glycemic index. Despite a bowl of rice having the same calories as a can of soda,it is medium glycemic index as rice also has fibres(depends on the type of rice but most types have fibres) so the fibres act as dampers the lessen the effects of carbs on the body. That's why it's fine to eat fruits vegetables etc. What is NOT fine is eating processed foods that don't have fibres.
@@sleeplife752 ahh oki, what is glycemic?
@@nancydotimas1399 basically glycemic index is rise in blood glucose level after 2 hours. It's a scale from 0 to 100.
Thanks. This helped a lot with my revision for my upcoming exams.
This is why I like TED and why it's able to reach more people. The end there makes it so much more interesting than just dry knowledge.

Pie charts are worthless and sometimes used to deceive people into thinking the number is larger or smaller
The older you get, the more you realise that food is an important part of being healthy.

I'm studying nutrition. And I wanted to add something that my teacher talked us. They saw an increase in the Asian population of high triglycerides level in blood. The person was eating quite normally and they didn't understand why until they discover that it was due to how they cooked their carbohydrates (rice, here). They let the rice cook for so long that all the polysaccharides became simple molecules of glucose (due to the heat) before the digestion and the glycemic index was really the same as soda or white bread.
So the time of cooking is really important, don't let it cook for 40 minutes.

I love the voice and art style its so aesthetic
A good way to start to lose weight is to start with limiting your sweet drinks like soda and juice. Start off with water.
What is good to do next is to count your calories. Almost everything you consume has calories, so keeping track of it helps you wrap your mind around how much you eat.
The third thing you should do is eat meals slower. This allows your stomach to maintain a smaller size and gets you full quicker.
Doing all of this first is a lot more helpful than going out to exercise and getting burnt out from it because starting with this will give you the energy to exercise. Eating healthy is also good to lose weight, but still track even the healthiest of foods.
This is how I lost 25 lbs in one year (the year mark was actually last week).
This video is wonderful, it teaches me a lot about carbohydrates.
There's no way I could ever believe that eating a moderate amount of non-refined carbs is bad. Why does our saliva contain amylase then? It clearly shows that consumption of carbs was crucial to our ancestors' survival, so much so that those who couldn't break them down in their saliva didn't survive to this day
this video is not stating you should not eat a moderate amount of non-refined carbs. watch it again maybe ? Well, maybe they should have insisted on the fact that the human body still needs carbs to thrive even though you should not eat "too much" of it... everything's about balance
Sugars are intoxicating because they were found sparsely in our primordial environments... Great calorie troves, sweet taste, dopamine release encourage foraging. Their abundance has unknown implications on human health
Let's see ... cheese has a low glycemic index and chocolate syrup has a high glycemic index. So that means eating Wisconsin aged cheddar and sipping Hershey's syrup is the equivalent of eating veggies. Maybe the blood sugar curves are differently shaped, but overall the same, right?
+George Steele no the fat from the cheese would further spike the blood sugar
+George Steele The problem is that you don't have any fiber. While it's glycemic index is low, cheese won't stop the syrup from spiking your blood sugar. Also, eating too much cheese and other fatty foods will lead to blocked arteries and heart disease later in life. You also are neglecting all the important vitamins and minerals you can only get from fruits and veggies, especially leafy greens. While eating sugar and cheese doesn't spike your blood sugar like sugar and more sugar would, there's really no getting around having to eat healthy.
Lol no, cheese is bad for you
Carbs are not bad. They are important in our body. You just need to choose the right carbs. Don't eat sugar, White bread, and prosessed carbs. Eat carbs like fruit, whole grains and vegetables.
Carbohydrates are life! So we have a TED-Ed telling us our body fuels itself on carbs, then tells us in the same video that we should cut back on the carbs... Hmmm is this called starving? "too many carbs can be a problem"...? Great scientific claim there(?). I like how the video tried really hard to ignore using the word FAT with words like 'savoury' and 'circumference'.

i don't think that some pasta is the same of sugar. i mean in italy people eat a lot of pasta, a lot, and there aren't so many diabetic or obese people
True. But they also eat a lot of meat and a lot of fiber. Same as the japanese diet. It's very high in carbs, but, the one common thing with all the diets that work is - cutting sugar and processed foods. If you're interested I recommend the channel named "what I've learned" he has a lot of videos on this subject. I genuinely recommend giving cutting sugar out a try.
True, but how much sugar was added to the pasta we eat ( not to mention how bastardized was the ingredients between the field and the table) ? How much sugar was added to the canned sauce? How much was added to those Castco meatballs? How much was added to that garlic bread? And having lived for a summer in Italy, they eat a TON of veggies, far more than they eat pasta. Everything, literally everything comes with veggies. You want a pizza? They don't have pepperoni, they have blanco or veggie, and that's about it. And they don't have a lot of sweets. There weren't any donuts shops anywhere I went, their cakes don't have frosting, they don't have cookie sections in the stores, etc.
@@mcaskey358 yea, its quite "strange" going to a restaurant or grocery store in europe. their "Sweets/snacks" aisles dont really exist, its a small section and everything is kinda lumped together in a "bad for you" section lol. i havent been to italy, but, yea frosting seems to be an american thing. their cakes/baked goods usually have sweetend fruit and powdered sugar, very rare to see frosting on things. sometimes u'll get cream filled desserts.
The biggest problem with demonizing starchy carbs is that they are great for fueling workouts. While you don't need them, they will likely improve your performance because your body can more readily use glucose from carbs and actually prefers to. If you aren't active, carbs aren't as helpful. But the people that demonize them do so from a standpoint of health, while ignoring the benefits carbs can provide for exercise, whether strength training or cardio. This is a good hint that they don't do a lot of exercise, despite pretending to be a poster child for health. If you can stick to a keto diet and you're happy with your performance when exercising, good for you. Have at it. But there's a damn good chance your performance would increase notably with some starchy carbs in your diet.
I don't know why all these vegans in the comment section are so angry... The video didn't say "eat 0 carbs," and it actually said that fruits and vegetables have lower glycemic indices. It was explaining new research that indicates that excess, refined carbs (like what's found in junk food) is linked to metabolic syndrome. It was very educational.
they’re angry because they’re vegans
What an educational and informative video! Its simple and easy to understand.
Awesome speech
Great to see some nutritional advice based on good science. Good job!
Also, according to this video, is a high carb low fat diet dangerous? Because many vegans eat lots of carbs (fruits etc) and as little fats as possible.
+4 leaf clover You need fat. It is best to have balance in your diet :)
***** How much fat and how many carbohydrates is best to consume? What is the best ratio?
+4 leaf clover They get fats from avocados, nuts and etc. I believe. ;)
+4 leaf clover There is no "best" ratio. Different people have different needs. I for instance eat a roughly 70% carb 15% protein and 15% fat kind of diet. It is 100% plant based. Carbs are great! But like the video said it matters a bit what kind of carbs you eat. I try to eat most of my carbs with fibers in them. Vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains are great sources of carbs.
+4 leaf cloverit has been described that 15% protein, 55% carbs (45% of complex and no more than 10% of simples or sugars) and 30% fat (up to 8% of saturated and 1% of trans) may be a good ratio for healthy people to keep a healthy life, but this will depend on your BMI, % body mass and if you have any diseases.
I don’t know what to say except for that ‘you’re in charge’. I know that excessive carbohydrates is not good at my body, but i can’t help eating food to include this. Especially, when i get stressed. Also, I think it actually comes from excessive advertisements about these food. Many company have been making us looking for these food, keeping us posted. Sometimes, I feel like they have to keep thier head down to people’s health. You’re with me on this, right? We need to get this straight not to put our lives in danger. In that sense, to keep us from doing something harmful, not only we are tying to keep off excessive carbohydrates, but also we need some help doing things like that to many food companies. Carbohydrate definitely is essential to live in our lives, i just wanted to say that this might put our lives in danger if we don’t regulate.
