More carbohydrate from raw vegetables and fruits is likely to provide significant protection from CHD, most types of cancers, stroke, macular degeneration, type II diabetes, overweight/obesity, etc. etc. etc. Traditional Cretan Mediterranean diet is relatively low carb, only 45% of calories from carbs, despite including lots of vegetables. Many vegetebales and berries have low amount of absorbable carbs, so one can eat quite a lot of them even on low carb diets.
