What are carbs' role in health?

What part do carbs play as far as health and weight?

Answer #1

The three calorie-providing components of foods are carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Carbohydrates are found in an immense variety of foods. Which of these, for example, are rich sources of carbs: orange juice, table sugar, nonfat milk, pears, strawberries, whole-wheat bread, apple pie, popcorn, biscuits, green peas, muffin, honey, sweet potatoes? If you chose all of these foods, you’re right. Carbohydrates (the word means carbon dioxide combined with water) include all the sugars, starches, and fiber we eat. Carbs (except for fiber) are transformed by the body into blood sugar (mostly glucose), the body’s basic fuel.
