That's the bad part. Simple carbs from bread have high glycemic index and easily convert to body fat. Modern diets are composed of way too high amounts of carbs.

It certainly doesn't help that most bread sold in the US contains added sugars.

Yes, but you do need some carbs in your diet. If you have a burger with a whole wheat bun and skip the fries, it can work out.
