Carbohydrates-Page 4
carbohydrates take longer to digest, meaning they have a smaller impact on blood sugar and are, therefore, vital for fat loss. The types of carbohydrates you consume is extremely important. The focus should be on eating good, complex carbohydrates, those that have a low-glycemic index, and can supply the body with a steady stream of blood sugar.
Dietary carbohydrates and their role in health were last considered by the Committee on the Medical Aspects of Food Policy in reports published in the 1980s and 1990s. Since then, considerable evidence has emerged on the role of carbohydrates in cardio-metabolic, colo-rectal and oral health. The present report details the evidence SACN has
Symptoms of intolerance to carbohydrates are primarily due to deficiency of enzymes or transporters or overloading of a transport system located on the brush border of the epithelium lining the small intestine (Figure3). Non-absorbed carbohydrates in the intestinal tract drive fluids into the lumen through an osmotic force, causing osmotic .
CARBOHYDRATES OR SUGARS A group of naturally occurring aldehydes / ketones, formally composed of C atoms and H 2O molecules in a ratio equal or close to 1 : 1 general formula: (CH 2O) n. or close Immense biological importance of carbohydrates: blood group determinants nucleic acids, glycoproteins
High GI carbohydrates are broken down quickly and cause a high rise in BGLs. Medium GI carbohydrates cause a moderate rise in BGLs. Low GI carbohydrates are broken down slowly causing a low rise in BGLs. Fast (High GI) 70-100 Moderate (Intermediate GI) 55-70 Slow (Low GI) 0-55 The Glycaemic Index (GI) BGLs Time 1 hour 2 hour

like carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, etc. Proteins and carbohydrates are essential constituents of our food. These biomolecules interact with each other and constitute the molecular logic of life processes. In addition, some simple molecules like vitamins and mineral salts also play an important role in the functions of organisms.
