18. Yes, apples have carbs
Fruits and vegetables have carbs. But in my mind, that is not the important issue.
Have you ever heard of the glycemic index? Basically not all carbs are the same. Some carbs, such as bread and potatoes, are high on the glycemic index which means that after eating them, your glucose levels soar and then drop precipitiously, causing you to become hungry again. Most people are better off not eating bread, pasta, potatoes and white rice.
Fats and proteins score low on the glycemic index.
Fruits and vegs offer great nutritional value.
