Are carbohydrates a bad source of nutrition?

Carbohydrates in and of themselves are not bad if they're complex carbohydrates. You can only eat so much of them and you are going to be satisfied and full. The problem with the simpler carbohydrates you know those white flour products and white sugar products is that they, you could never get satisfied. It's a sense of desire to eat more and more and more of them because you never get any satisfaction from eating them. Whole different ball game with foods that have flavor versus foods which basically don't have any flavor except the sugar or, you know the basic salt, etcetera that we add into these things to give them flavor. I mean white flour what's in it? Nothing, you know compared to whole grain flour that has richness and a depth to it in color alone. That's enticing to your eyes. And then of course the flavor. You don't have that with the white flour products.
