Are carbs your friend or foe?

Carbohydrates. A crucial source of fibre and nutrients that give us all the energy we need? Or an unnecessary bulk food that plays havoc with our blood sugar?

The Food Programme tackles The Big Carb Debate by inviting a panel of four dietary experts to discuss the merits of a low- versus a high-carbohydrate diet. They attempt to answer some of the questions and bust some of the myths surrounding this hotly debated topic.
