Carbohydrates, in the form of fiber, may be useful in reducing cholesterol levels. Carbohydrates are necessary as an energy source for the body and a balanced diet should include about 50% carbohydrates. A sweet food has carbohydrates, but that does not mean that it has too many carbohydrates; a peach and sweet potatoes have carbohydrates, but only the peach is sweet to taste. There are many reasons for sickness, but excess carbohydrate consumption is not among them.
