Although the USDA recommends that the majority of your daily intake should be made up of carbohydrates, studies show that a high nutrient content per calorie ratio equates to optimum health.
Picture white sugar, for instance; it is very high in calories with low nutrient content. So, it would lead to poor health; however, if we look at the Nutrient-Density Line found in Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman, we see that raw leafy green vegetables are the most nutrionally dense food we can eat.
I discuss this in more detail here.
Good job getting the word out that consuming fatty foods, sweets, and alcohol is not the way to gom especially when one is diabetic.
