Carbohydrates (in food terms) are long chains of sugar that are one of nature's most abundant forms of stored energy. Perhaps this is why all major civilizations emerged under the provision of their farming (wheat, rice, corn). Sugar is in almost all foods even if they don't taste sweet. White foods such as bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta (and of course fries, chips, crackers, and cookies) are considered "bad" because they are refined and take little energy to digest. Eating these foods in moderation is recommended, especially if you spend most of your day in a chair. Also, whole forms of these foods such as brown rice, whole wheat bread, and whole wheat pasta will release their sugars slowly and keep you full, longer.
Do an experiment! Place a piece of white bread in one cup of water and a piece of whole wheat bread in another and see what happens after a couple of hours... This will give you a visual understanding of what happens in your stomach.
