Are the components the same from where ever they are derived? I would think that carbohydrates from refined foods such as white flour and sugar cane sucrose, or corn syrup fructose would be a poor choice. There are some interesting discussions about glycemic load and glycemic index of food items. Intuitively fresh and raw seems healthier than processed and cooked.

While the fat percentages may seem high, it’s important to realize that fat has more calories per gram than carbohydrates or protein. So while the percentage is high, the actual amount of fat that you consume under these guidelines is fairly low — typically less than 60 grams from a 2000 calorie diet.
