While carbs can very easily be lumped into a one-size-fits-all perspective, there are carb sources that store more sugar in the liver and unwantables in the human body. In America, and in many other parts of the world, these following sources of carbs are some of the worst sources that the human body can ever encounter:
#1 Dessert Coffee Drinks
All the benefits of coffee, including increased metabolism, antioxidants to fight disease, lowered risk of Type 2 diabetes, cancer prevention for the colon and liver along with prevention of gallstones, cirrhosis of the liver and Parkinson's disease, take a backseat when coffee is turned a into frothy, sugar-rich dessert coffee. All the additives and fats used can easily add up to 400 calories.
#2 Bagel Sandwich
On its own, a bagel can have as much as 300 calories. But bagel is never eaten on its own. Therefore, with the addition of butter, cheese or any other preferred filling a bagel sandwich may end up being heftier in carbs than white-flour pasta.
#3 Jelly, Jams, Preserves and Bottled Peanut Butter with Jelly
Even if these spreads contain fruits, the sugar and juice that envelope the fruits are the main event. Usually, too, a tablespoon is never enough spread. Considering the amount of carbohydrates, sugar and calories per tablespoon, these spreads can be very dangerous indeed.
#4 Fruit Smoothies
While fruits are one of the best choices for a snack or a meal, a smoothie often uses more fruit than one would eat in a single sitting. Too much of anything is never a good thing. A single cup of 16 oz can contain as much as 75 grams of carbs.
#5 Cheese Snacks
These crackers with high-fat cheese mostly bring empty calories and considerable amounts of carbs per piece.
#6 Muffins and Cupcakes
Because baked goods are now being served with even more sugar and sweeteners, and in bigger sizes, a single muffin may contain as much as 60 grams of carbs and over 30 grams of sugar.
#7 Fruity Yogurt
Plain yogurt, on its own, already has grams of carbs from the dairy. The carb content goes up significantly with the addition of fruit jams.
#8 White Bread
This carb-filled bread has none of the necessary fibre needed for satiety and healthy blood sugar. The refined white flour used in this bread is also found to cause increased risk of heart disease and Type 2 diabetes and weight gain. It slows down the results of any weight loss effort.
#9 Wraps
A single thin,10-inch white tortilla wrap contains as much as 35 grams of carbs. Besides the sizeable carb and calorie content, many brands also use L-cysteine, a chemical that conditions dough and is created from human hair and chicken feathers.
#10 Popcorn
A medium tub of popcorn offers as much as 1,200 empty calories along with sodium, cancer-causing substances and about the same amount as three days of saturated fat.
