Carbohydrates from these sources are ideal because they have high vitamin, mineral, phytonutrient, and fiber
contents, so they are not only providing your necessary caloric energy but they are also delivering a significant amount
of additional healthy nutrients that are lost in the more refined and processed carbohydrates (i.e. in carbohydrate sources like
white flour, table sugar,
white rice, fruit juices, sodas, cookies, cakes, jams, etc...).
