The things we eat and drink on a daily basis can impact our health in big ways. Too many carbohydrates, for instance, can lead to insulin resistance, which is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease and Type 2 Diabetes. But what are carbs, exactly? And what do they do to our bodies? Richard J. Wood explains.
Lesson by Richard J. Wood, animation by Qa'ed Mai.
Darn it, I was gonna have a pasta-sushi-roll-pita-burrito-donut-burger sandwich for lunch!
me too dang 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
joseph jackson 😅
Me too, but hold the sushi.
rip
And I thought I had a weird lunch
Excellent. I learned this through living because I was raised on junk, but my mom didn't know any better. Now I eat well, but I'm 63. Better late than never?
You took the right decision
Wow, lots just continue choosing to live the same way, I'm proud of you :)
So more veg and meat?
@@nabeelhakeem3593 Meat, meat, and more meat. I avoid most vegetables because of their oxalates, but still eat cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower.
It's never late to change in better way.
Remember it’s still important to eat these in moderation. Some people watch this and their takeaway is “never eat carbs again”.
The human body is designed to eat a large variety of foods and it’s important to strive for balance.
You can get carbohydrates from eating boiled potatoes or from brown rice. You don't need to eat refined or processed carbohydrates.
@SopaDeCacahuate "essential" is not the same as "optimal".
@SopaDeCacahuate you can survive off of nothing but water and fish, but boy, you won't feel too great.
@SopaDeCacahuate people also survive on nothing but fruit
@SopaDeCacahuate Survival is not the same as longevity and longterm health. Fiber, for instance, is non-essential but beneficial for multiple reasons including the health of your gut-biome. Same goes for plant derived antioxidants etc..
so when u eat any carbohydrate you are basically just eating sugar without the sweetness right?
Technically yes, but eating carbs such as fruits and veggies is not bad because they have a low glycemic index plus have all vitamins, minerals antioxidants etx. You need all that to be healthy. The sum of this video was kinda bad.
Just eat lots of vegetables band fruits and you literally have nothing to worry about
@@fujzokretencina7536 Depends on how much fruit you eat. Too much fructose too quickly will give you a fatty liver.
@@Bombucci i think that 99% of ppl do not eat enough fruit :). That shouldn't be an issue
@@fujzokretencina7536 can i eat brown rice tho?
@@yourgodlesslexx2092much much better than white rice or pasta for example.
Please add English captions. Your videos are so helpful for educating people are deaf or hard of hearing. The visual component combined with accurate captions in educational videos such as these can have an immense impact on education. Thank you, I love what you are doing!
+Jennifer Tuck Thanks for the feedback! We try and make sure English captions are available soon after each publication. Feel free to click the "CC" on the bottom right-hand corner of the video player to access.
+TED-Ed - I appreciate the suggestion to use the CC option on the video. Prior to writing the original comment I had already tried this. The only available captioning that appeared is in what looks like another language (and not the bizzarro speech to text language that does not equate to actual captioning). I have also checked the caption settings to see if I had another language selected, I did not. It may be something glitchy with my version of TH-cam, but it was the first and only time I have seen this.
+Jennifer Tuck what you need to do is go into the settings tab next to the CC button and select subtitles from the menu. than change the language to english. they've actually got 19 languages for this one!
Except that he's misrepresenting nutritional science in this video...
humans main source of energy is carbohydrates and we should be eating fruits and vegetables and other plant foods and excluding animal's bodies and bodily secretions if we want to avoid disease... and be nice to someone else's body... that matters too
+The V Word that's so true
"increased waist circumference" AHAHA scientific way to say you'll get fat XD
+Deepam Mehta Because it's not the same thing
+Deepam Mehta Because waist circumference is a bigger risk factor than total body fat. Or more precisely, the real risk is abdominal fat. Never mind beauty standards, buttocks fat is relatively benign health wise.
+darksskull good catch :D :D
+darksskull ah yesh my chinese chird, you must embrace yur kung fur nature. Meditate about yur rice, confucius say. go to arr supreme reader kim jung un, he wir teach yu the ways of the chinese rice picker. Now listen to me my deerest chird, I am not actually Chinese! peace out my yellow man! LOL

Having gestational diabetes has been the best thing that ever happened to me for my health. I cut down significantly on my carbs and sugar and became so much more educated on how the body breaks down different foods. My eating habits were going on such a downward spiral but thankfully now, I have such a healthier lifestyle 😊
I'm having great difficulty in understanding what I can eat and what i will enjoy eating to keep me on a low carbon diet im type 2 diabetic.Its overwhelming to cut out most of the food i have been eating.
@@davidmoore2308 Eat lots of whole foods, not over processed stuff. Things that don’t come in a box. If you do that for a while you’ll notice that eating healthier will make you feel so much better.
@@davidmoore2308 eat as much meat as you can. Easy.

to all the people who are writing comments about how this video is a lie and goes against science: do realize that science constantly evolves, that's what makes science great. the information provided in this video is literally the latest science that is being uncovered, and replicated, across research institutions around the world. when i was a biochemistry student at a prestigious university as recently as 2012, we were learning that carbs were the optimal energy source for our cells. i speak to students who are currently taking the exact same course i took, and they are learning that carbs are in fact not the optimal energy source for our cells. they are learning about the role carbs play in insulin resistance. i didn't learn all this in uni 5 years ago. but a good scientist is always open to accepting new facts in light of new evidence. just because an idea contradicts how you've chosen to live your life, doesn't mean that idea is wrong. and please stop giving anecdotal evidence eg "I eat a high carb diet and I'M not fat", these are completely useless in forming arguments, convincing people, and making any sort of point at all.
also- it is true that the rate of diabetes and heart disease is increasing in asia. but that's not because they are consuming more fats, but rather because they are consuming more packaged (ie processed) foods, which contain a lot of hidden sugars as well as other chemicals, in conjunction with leading more sedentary lives.
Nazlan Nazarudin thank you!
Thank you so much for your common sense! It is always beneficial to see debate as suggestions to confirm or disprove arguments, rather than a competition between two opinions.
Nazlan Nazarudin they are also eating more animal protein, dairy and fats... so which one is it? Their traditional high carb diet? Or their new diet with more animal products and junk food?
If it was just ‘refined carbs’, white rice is a refined carb and has been eaten as a staple by asians for thousands of years, it doesn’t make sense.
Your argument has a lot of missing information and has lots of holes.
@@andrewhorton Her argument doesn't have holes you just can't read. It's not even an arguments but pure facts. It's not animal proteins and fats causing weight gain. It's the fact that they're eating more junk food. As far as rice, not only his it not the only food that people of Asian descent eat, as stated above leading a more sedentary life is also a contributor. Where many people in the past were burning those calories they ate, they aren't any longer.
victoriabeckfinat225 and they’re also eating more animal products. Everyone knows that the rising middle class in Asia consume more
meat and dairy than they’ve traditionally consumed. Indisputable.
I learn more from this channel then any science class in school
Anson Hu, it's a sad commentary on public education when you learn more from a youtube channel than from actual schooling.
@@dursty3226 I think it doesn't always mean a "sad comment". Wherever can enable you to have more knowledge and they have different method to transfer the information. So, the method that is suitable to you will help you more than others.
My teacher showed this in class today and came to save it for our future test
Plot twist: he does not attend class to play fort nite.
That's because science is been tought wrong
If I could watch this when I was younger, I would’ve had. I’m a type 1 diabetic so I have to manually give myself insulin through needles and shots. It can be hard because me and my mom both suffer from it. We always hope for a cure one day...
Type 1 diabetes is NOT cause by diet and watching this video would have done nothing to prevent your condition. Type 2 is the one cause by diet and lifestyle factors.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when your immune system, the body’s system for fighting infection, attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Scientists think type 1 diabetes is caused by genes and environmental factors, such as viruses, that might trigger the disease.
@Mindful Empowerment Nooo, dont spread misinformation
@Kat Sew you have to eat keto to regulate your bloodsugar? damn, thats tough. Have you got a pump and automatic bloodsugar tester? if not, why?
please understand I dont mean to offend, I'm just curious
@Jerod E type 2 can be reversed but there is a major difference between type 2 and type 1. Type 1 isn’t reversible sadly.
@Jerod E btw it’s not a full reversal it’s remission which can last up to 10+ years, but only if you continue the diet forever, if not it’ll come right back. I’m type 2, my levels have gone back to normal range too, I only take a few pills now an Ozempic once a week. I limit myself to
So eat carbohydrate rich foods that have a lot of fiber, avoid carbohydrates without fiber?
Yes.
+DaCamponTwee Yes these are called net carbs.
+DaCamponTwee Carbs should make up roughly 1/3 of your diet with preference on high fibre carbs (wholegrains). Avoiding carbs without fiber, yes.

Good job TED-Ed.Keep educating the people! I learned a lot from your videos in terms of nutrition and health.
This has been the truth for me and everyone I know who has battled with weight gain. Limit carb intake and increase exercise makes excess weight melt away.
Ye and walk like a zombie too! Carbs is essential! Cut the dairy and meat and you’ll see a whole different energy level
Tbh I eat loads of carbs and standing at around 177cm, I only weigh about 64kg.

This is A1 grade, professional, and excellently presented. Could not thank you enough.
Great video, lots of info but it could be longer with a bit more commentary.
I simply LOVE straight scientific information. It's way much better (at least for me) than that "you need to reeducate you eating habits" talk. Thanks TED for that!
Gracias por ponerle subtitulos, me fascinan estos vídeos, simples pero muy informativos.
Me encanta, estoy enamorada de este canal 🤗
Ted talk videos always makes me feel comforted
This is great! Can you do ones on fat/oil and protein as well as perhaps other nutrients, too? Also I would be interested in learning more about the role of fiber. Thanks again for the vid!
fiber is useless
Thanks. This helped a lot with my revision for my upcoming exams.

Stop supporting terrorist you dude 😎
Thanks for this informational video! This makes it so simple to understand!
Thank you. This was very thorough, interesting and easy to understand.
The explanation is incredible ❤️ thank you 🙏🏼
The source of carbohydrates that I eat the most is rice. It's very common to have rice at lunch and dinner here in Brazil.
But that's is just one of the foods and it's mostly water. In Brazil meat and beans make a huge part of the daily meals which contains way more protein than sugars.
This is very informative.
I am researching diet, and this has filled in the gaps.
Thank you TedEd for this...I really need this to our concept defense
This video omits an important fact that starch (for example bread) containing only glucose molecules is healthier than sucrose (sodas) due to fructose. Fructose is metabolised in a very different way from glucose which makes fructose unhealthier.
But in the realm of would I want a papercut OR to stub my toe, the answer remains no ty.
Didn't you hear the first few minutes? Fructose or not, carbs are processed the same.
@@balagtas1020 I didn't notice that, but it's incorrect. Fructose is actually processed in the liver.
According to the all the doctors and researchers I've heard, all say Sugar is Sugar, regardless of where it comes from Glucose, Fructose, all the same once it passes the neck.
Great video, thanks! My professor included it as part of our required video lessons for the week on carbs.
Thank you so much, your video helped a tremendous amount!
Ain't guna lie. I really enjoy Ted-Ed so much. Keep the education coming!
The older you get, the more you realise that food is an important part of being healthy.
Rather, older generations were raised on bad science. Welcome to the new age
Nice explanation!
Don't think so. If they are going chemical with the explanation, they should also explain the chemical sense of carbohydrates, which is everything consisting only of C,H, and O atoms, vs. nutritional "carbohydrates", which is used for saccharides.
Plus, why are they making the frame at 00:54 additionally confusing by shuffling the order!? Sucrose should be right of fructose, as should lactose be right of galactose ... god damn it, not watching further.
Toyami Hiyami it’s just simplified so pretty much everyone who watches it can understand.
Incredible! Your video is very informative and helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for a very insightful video!

Useful video that helps me to fast recap on this chapter for my upcoming final exam! Thanks!
Thanks for your grateful advice. These video tips help me a lot. I think there is much another thing to know about this topic like Health Coach
You guys should at least give out suggestions, since people's diet could be well based on these foods, and with no replacement they would search for any other alternative, only to end up at the same place they once were, thinking they were fine.
They did. Fruits and vegetables. :')
+Eva on Air Fruits are full of sugars. It's not a proper replacement.
+Yan Chenier But he said something about how sugar linked with fibre (fruits and veggies) is harder to break down and requires more time to be released into the blood stream. INstead of having it all released quickly quickening the process of insulin resistance. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
+Zac Nedianu it's not as quick, but it's still damageable. Berries are different though, since they tend to reduce the insulin spike (and it's not because of fiber, it's something else).
+Draw dex (Drawdex) Eat asian food lol (well it depends on the type but still)
that downright explanation to sugar made easy than my nutrtition subject in a semester
Excellent explanation! Thank you.
That was really helpful for my study. Thanks.
The video has been educational and I enjoyed it BUT I think there should be more discussion about complex carbohydrate. Audiences should get to know that complex carbonydrate are healthier choice as it keeps you full longer than simple carbs. Anyway, I like the ending!

can it bring more INFLAMMATION
Great to see some nutritional advice based on good science. Good job!
well sir, you just earned yourself a sub, I'm excited to learn from this channel!
Fantastic....Simple but very Informative and 100% true.....
Carbohydrates actually increase insulin sensitivity. Fat (esp. saturated fat) causes insulin resistance by blocking the action of insulin on the cell.
Thank you for your slow speech. All easy to understand even to foreigners.
Even more detailed than my biology textbook. Love it!🥰🥰
that ending was awesome ! very well done presentation that made that ending comprehensible ! lol
Sadly the exceptional role of fructose is not mentioned at all.

I think it's important to emphasise that not all carbs are bad. processed carbs and refined sugars are different from carbs that exist from nature. having a banana or bread is not the same as having can of soda when if comes to heath benefits.
Lily Harvey well sorry to tell you, but you’re wrong honey.
some foods we think are safe are also a threat to our health, some fruits are too sweet compare to their original composition thousanbdof years ago, even wheat, read the book The wheat belly and decide if bread is still good for you.
Tell that to my tummy. I rarely eat meat and eat lots of fruits and whole grain products but I still gained a lot of weight. I cut back on those and preferred low carb foods while using sucralose as sweetener. 3 months of low carb diet - I already lost 35 lbs and my bloodsugar went down to 94 from 120.

Nicely explained!!!❤️
Directly from the video he said things like vegetables and whole grains contain complex carbohydrates that are linked together with beta bonds, which we cannot break down. Eat all the whole grains and veggies you want. I lost 60lbs after switching from junk food to whole grains, veggies, lean meat, and dairy. And I dropped my blood pressure back to normal levels after being in the prehypertension risk level.
Total Carbohydrate 19 g
Dietary fiber 4 g
Sugar 14 g
could someone please simple explain this the difference between that Dietary Fiber and Sugar and Total Carbohydrate on any item Nutritious chart ?
and the impact as well .

Philippines eat rice almost 3 times a day. Im Filipino and i eat rice once a day now and i have no heart or diiebites issue. Thank God
*yasss!*
The worst carbs are added sugars not rice.
Bro the video addresses this. It says that you shouldn't eat processed foods that are high in starch as it is easily digested. Hence processed foods like cola and a doughnut have high glycemic index. Despite a bowl of rice having the same calories as a can of soda,it is medium glycemic index as rice also has fibres(depends on the type of rice but most types have fibres) so the fibres act as dampers the lessen the effects of carbs on the body. That's why it's fine to eat fruits vegetables etc. What is NOT fine is eating processed foods that don't have fibres.
@@sleeplife752 ahh oki, what is glycemic?
@@nancydotimas1399 basically glycemic index is rise in blood glucose level after 2 hours. It's a scale from 0 to 100.
This is a great video! I could understand properly! :D
Great explanation....
I lift weights. I need carbs to do that. White rice is a VERY good energy source to build muscle, and I will continue to eat it.
What type of sugar occurs naturally in stevia, and what types of sugars are created from it? Mono, Di, etc?
Stevia is not a real sugar, so you don’t metabolize it at all, which is why it has no calories. It won’t increase your blood sugar at all. It just tastes similar to sugar.
thanks for this!!learning!
great informative piece!!!

This is just brilliant!
Everything in this is absolutely correct. I have been experimenting on myself for 15 years.
What do you mean that you've been experimenting on yourself for 15 years? You've got me curious
The recommended amount of carbs/protein/fats hasn't changed since I've known (nineties). What strikes me is many ppl now think that carbs are harmful which is nonsense, it all depends how much we eat them. Wether we eat too much of anything will cause problems sooner or later it's all about the right balance.
@Major Probelms it's not my particular opinion. Like I said it hasn't changed since I've known and it hasn't been made up by me. If you knew a little about diet you would know that.
Oh, but I love pasta sushi roll pita burrito donut burger sandwiches! :D Thank you for the video, great content and great animation.
