E4: Not All Carbs Are Not Created Equal
02/14/24 • 21 min
“Not All Carbs Are Created Equal”
In recent years the ‘carbs are the enemy’ trend has grown into a monster. Let’s be honest, most of these trends are industry driven and the unfortunate truth is that there isn’t any industry that is more concerned with your health than in its own survival. This includes the Health & Wellness industry (and all its tangents), the Agriculture industry, and the Food & Drug industry (how did those get lumped together anyway?)
Fortunately there has been some good research to look at. Even more fortunately, we can apply some pretty intuitive common sense thinking and behavior.
Bottom line: Just like a calorie is not just a calorie, a carb is not just a carb.
Carbs should mostly be fuel, which is very important. Sometimes carbs are just fun, which is okay! Today we’re going to talk about different kinds of carbohydrate sources and how our bodies process them.
