Inappropriate picture/caption[edit]

The image of very REFINED grain foods (white bread, pasta, flour, sugar are pictured) is captioned: "Unrefined grain products are rich sources of complex carbohydrates". This should be changed to a more appropriate image I think..

Carbohydrates provide fuel for the central nervous system and energy for working muscles. They also prevent protein from being used as an energy source and enable fat metabolism God of OC (talk) 19:16, 1 December 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done - the template states: "specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y", and be supported by a WP:SCIRS source. --Zefr (talk) 19:24, 1 December 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

No mention of Gluconeogenesis and the article is not at all neutral regarding nutritional recommendations[edit]

Carbohydrates are not essential nutritional compounds unlike protein and fat, through the process of Gluconeogenesis, the body is able to synthesize glucose from non-carbohydrate compounds. And yet it is noted on the wikipedia page that they are nutritionally essential and that the institute of medicine "recommends that American and Canadian adults get between 45 and 65% of dietary energy from whole-grain carbohydrates.".

These recommendations are biased and based solely on the appeal and profit of the government and companies that profit from the massive consumption of carbohydrates, while they are fundamentally not nutritionally essential. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oggune (talk • contribs) 19:08, 20 April 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It should now be mentioned in the see also section. Darubrub (Inform me) 23:20, 4 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It is still not mentioned that Carbohydrates are not essential nutritional compounds unlike protein and fat... This is clearly stated in the German Wikipedia article. Darwipli (talk) 06:57, 1 October 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
