This disease rarely occurs in the United States. I'm going to go take some vitamin C now. Good luck, Jake. Uninformed comments like this give a wonderful vegetable like carrots a bad rap. Vegetables, fruits, starches, sweets and dairy products all contain carbohydrates in varying quantities.
Foods also contain difference forms of carbohydrate, such as lactose, maltose, sucrose and fructose.
When digested, all these forms are converted to glucose, or blood sugar, which is the fuel every cell in your body uses for energy. Now, there happen to be about 7 grams of carbohydrate in one raw carrot. Each gram of carbohydrate provides 4 calories. These vegetables contain varying amounts of water, which determines how much space the food has left for carbohydrate. Carrots are denser than green beans or lettuce, so they have more calories.
