Health Facts: Why Carb is bad?

CARB or Carbohydrate or the socalled starch is a chemical substance abundantly contained in almost every food , but it is found low in vegies and fruits, basically, and very high in rice, potato, and wheat.

When eaten, carb will be quickly digested and converted into SUGAR or Glucose in the blood, irregardless of where it is from. So the excess amount of glocose will be absorbed by INSULIN ( hormone in charge of storing body fat) and converted to glycogen ( that is the source energy) that will be stored in liver and muscle. Basically human body can only store a limit amount of glycogen, so the extra glycogen formed will be store as fat.

According to a Japanese TV I have watched the other day, eating to much carb can lead to diabetes (糖尿病） when you eat too fast and too much . Why?

When you eat too fast or too much carb, the glucose amount in your blood will be high. And when you eat too fast or too much, the insulin cannot absorb glucose contained in your blood, ontime, and thus release it into urine.

However, it doesnt mean you have to avoid carb. Just balance what you eat, which is probably hard!
