The difference between complex and simple carbs — and 5 health benefits of opting for complex carbs
A lot of diets will tell you to cut carbs, but not all carbs are unhealthy. Carbs actually fall into two categories: complex and simple.
Complex carbs, like whole grains, have important health benefits because they're high in nutritious starches and fiber.
Simple carbs like table sugar don't offer the same nutrients and may be harmful to your health if you have too much.
