Complex Carbohydrates and Microbiota-Accessible Carbohydrates

Prefer complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber, especially microbiota-accessible carbohydrates that humans cannot digest but gut microbes can ferment; contrasted with table sugar and simple starches. Framed as evidence that not all carbohydrates are bad.
