I did some research but would like to double check.
I heard that, natural sugars e.g. being in fruit are okay as they're a complex carbohydrate and are absorbed by the body slowly so the insulin doesn't come quickly, whereas if you take a simple carb, the insulin kicks in fast to bring the blood sugar level down. When the insulin kicks in, triglyceride comes in which is converted from calories and stored as fat. So basically it all comes down to natural sugar being a complex (good) carbohydrate.
Is that correct?
Also, should I still not 'avoid' but not eat complex carbs if unnecessary. Just because they're not as bad as simple carbs, they're still not great... right?
