Quote, Paraphrase, and Citation #3

“It is important to choose carefully which carbohydrates you eat. Many processed carbohydrates include added sugars, syrups, or fat, which add a lot of calories and can lead to weight gain and other health problems.”

In this quote from McKesson Health Solutions, it is talking about how certain carbohydrates can lead to weight gain and health problems. Some carbohydrates are healthier than others. Carbohydrates that include sugars, syrups, or fat add calories that make you gain weight if the calories never get burned off in a form of exercise. Some healthy carbohydrates are the following: beans, whole fruits, whole wheat, oats, bran, brown rice, barley, and whole-grain, low-sugar breakfast cereals. You can eat these carbohydrates but not an excessive amount of it may lead to problems in the future. This relates to my topic because it shows that carbohydrates can become a enemy in fighting obesity if you are not careful in which carbohydrates you eat and how much of them that you eat.
