    What's Wrong With Carbohydrates?

    Abstract

    A review of carbohydrates in metabolism is presented. The recent rash of books on diet and weight reduction implicate carbohydrates as the root cause of obesity and abnormal metabolism, but they actually play a positive role in normal metabolism. They are involved in energy metabolism, water balance and a host of other functions in the body. Used with intelligence and not with indulgence, they will continue to be good sources of calories, contributing to total nutritional health and well-being.
