Poll of the Day > Did you know that Sugar and Carbohydrates are the SAME THING???

(+) Yeah! (+)

You may not know this but people don't seem to know that carbs and sugar are actually the same thing.

We all know too much sugar is a bad thing but make no mistake, carbs is just sugar too.

When they look at labels on food products, all they see is no sugar or low sugar and think it's healthy but that isn't true. Look at the carbs and you'll notice how high it is..and carbs are basically sugar!!

That sugar label is just added sugar but carbs is actual sugar made into the food

Pop for instance is the worst kind of it. it has 40g of sugar with 50g of carb and that's DOUBLE the sugar going into your body!..

Instant noodles are a perfect example of that. Most of them have 0g of sugar but look at their extremely high carb content which is generally 50-70g, that's a s*** load of sugar going into your body!..and that's just ONE PACKAGE!!. eat 2 of them and you're already over a normal full day's worth of carbs. It's also very bad for diabetics who don't see that high carb content and raises blood sugars.

So in conclusion, when you hear people say go on a "low carb" diet, don't just look at the sugar label.

what....you are wrong in so many ways.

All sugars are carbs, not all carbs are sugar.

yeah no

Did you know that all dietary fiber is a Carb?

Did you know your body doesnt process dietary fiber, sugar, and starches the same way?

Diabetics can have starches (like in Pasta) within reasons but cannot have sugary foods like soda and cakes.
