There is a right balance of carbs as well as fats. There has been a large debate going on over the past few decades and it has been about how much fat and carbohydrate people should include in their diets. This controversy relates to people with diabetes and people without it. This was a very ling study that looked at over 100,000 people in many different countries over a seven year period. There were many different variables.

- A high carb diet, which the body converts to sugar during digestion, were found to be significantly worse than even a high fat diet.
- Regardless of the basis of one’s diet, fruits and vegetables do have positive health outcomes if three or four servings are eaten daily.
