Good vs. Bad Carbohydrates: What's the Difference?

When it comes to carbohydrates (carbs) there’s a misconception that all carbs are bad and one should stay away from all foods that contain carbs. But the truth is that carbs are essential components of a healthy diet and they’re necessary for proper organ functions. So choose good carbs, not no carbs.

Stay away from white flour as much as you can.
