S9Ep6: Carbs - Friend or Foe?

Coffee Break with Sharp Best Health

In the last few years, carbohydrates have replaced fat as the villain in our diet culture.

When you hear the word carbohydrates what comes to mind? Do you envision a bakery brimming with confectionary treats, such as pastries, doughnuts, and cupcakes?

How about a large bowl of spaghetti with traditional tomato sauce and a large piece of buttered Italian bread?

The point is that many different types of food contain carbohydrates, but some are much healthier for us than others.
On today's episode of the podcast, Sharp Best Health discusses various types of carbohydrates and their importance on our diet and our health.
