This document discusses carbohydrates and the difference between complex and simple carbs. Complex carbs are made of thousands of sugar units and break down slowly, providing steady energy and fewer insulin spikes. They include foods like whole grains, starchy vegetables, and fruits. Simple carbs have few sugar units and break down quickly, causing more rapid rises and falls in blood sugar. The document recommends focusing one's diet on complex carbs for health benefits while still allowing for occasional simple carb foods in moderation.
