I have been getting a lot of traffic to my website from people searching "cholesterol and carbohydrates." I've blogged and I have written about this topic in my book. I will visit it again, though. Carbohydrates are things like: bread, crackers, chips, yams, potatoes, beans, rice, cereal, fruit, juice, candy, sugar, honey and so on.... When you eat a carbohydrate the body will break it down into sugar. This sugar goes into your bloodstream. The body will use the sugar for energy. BUT, if the body does not need sugar for energy then the sugar is turned into either cholesterol or triglycerides (fat). The key is to eat enough carbohydrates to give your brain and body the sugar from blood it needs AND to not overeat carbohydrates. |
