Your friend says he plans to stay away from all carbohydrates,because he has heard that all carbs make you fat.How would you respond to your friend's contention?

Indicate the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates.It should be pointed out also that excess intake of any food source will lead to weight gain.Include other benefits of eating complex carbohydrates-fiber,vitamins,and minerals from these food sources.A more accurate way to distinguish "bad" versus "good" carbohydrates is through the glycemic index.
