Don't get on the "recent medical issue" wave or you'll never get off. Eat
properly, meaning un-refined foods, ie. whole grain. The "bad carbs" are the
processed foods, ie. white flour, white pasta, white sugar, etc and the high
glycemic foods such as white potatoes, which have a higher glycemic value
than sugar. Whole foods, its a good thing...
