AB Foods high in carbohydrates are an important part of a healthy diet, since they providethe body with glucose to support bodily functions and physical activity. However, the abusiveconsumption of refined, simple, and low-quality carbohydrates has a direct implication on thephysical and mental pathophysiology. Then, carbohydrate consumption is postulated as a crucialfactor in the development of the main Western diseases of the 21st century. We conducted thisnarrative critical review using MedLine (Pubmed), Cochrane (Wiley), Embase, and CinAhl databaseswith the MeSH-compliant keywords: carbohydrates and evolution, development, phylogenetic,GUT, microbiota, stress, metabolic health, consumption behaviors, metabolic disease, cardiovasculardisease, mental disease, anxiety, depression, cancer, chronic kidney failure, allergies, and asthmain order to analyze the impact of carbohydrates on health. Evidence suggests that carbohydrates,especially fiber, are beneficial for the well-being and growth of gut microorganisms and consequentlyfor the host in this symbiotic relationship, producing microbial alterations a negative effect on mentalhealth and different organic systems. In addition, evidence suggests a negative impact of simplecarbohydrates and refined carbohydrates on mood categories, including alertness and tiredness,reinforcing a vicious circle. Regarding physical health, sugar intake can affect the development andprognosis of metabolic disease, as an uncontrolled intake of refined carbohydrates puts individualsat risk of developing metabolic syndrome and subsequently developing metabolic disease.
