Gute Carbs

Foods rich in carbohydrates have a high nutritional value and provide quickly available energy. From an evolutionary perspective, they certainly have their place in our diet. However, carbohydrates have increasingly been demonized lately: the low-carb movement has evolved into no-carb, and bread and pasta are labeled as unhealthy fatteners. But why should it be healthy to vilify the favorite foods of many people? Do fewer noodles really make you slim? Does reducing potatoes actually help against high blood pressure? And is a schnitzel really healthier than a slice of bread? Nutritionist Uwe Knop critically examines the low-carb diet trend in this book and questions its validity based on the latest research, studies, and statements. A book for anyone who wants to learn more about healthy eating.
