 - This then leads to the carbohydrates to be converted to glucose. 

 - Insulin is secreted through the pancreas which lets the body’s cells know that they need to absorb the glucose for energy or stored energy.]]> 2024-02-15 21:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885285583 twg4qq https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885362943 - The enzyme missing in people with lactose intolerance is lactase. 

- This enzyme is responsible for breaking down lactose, found in dairy products, into sugars such as glucose that can be better maintained by the human body. 

- An insufficient amount of lactase negatively influences people’s ability to break down lactose.  

- This leads to digestion issues which can then lead to bloating, gas, abdominal pain, etc.]]> 2024-02-15 23:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885362943 twg4qq https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885369496 2024-02-15 23:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885369496 twg4qq https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885372517 2024-02-15 23:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885372517 twg4qq https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885375797 2024-02-15 23:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885375797 twg4qq https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885387406 Artificial sweeteners can contain aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, and stevia. An example of an artificial sweetener would be Splenda. Splenda contains sucralose which is way sweeter than the original sucrose. This is popularly used in beverages.

A natural sweetener would be raw honey. Raw honey has many consumption benefits for humans such as itchy throat relief, allergy relief, and serves as a source of energy.

The chemical structure between the two types of sweeteners are very different. Artificial sweeteners have only the intention of making consumables sweeter by adding sucrose molecules. 

Natural sweeteners are structured in a more functional way. They contain sugars, water, enzymes, proteins, etc. These not undergoing some process allows for these types of sweeteners to maintain their natural chemical structure.

Pros of artificial sweeteners: 
- Low to free calories
- Accounts for diabetics
- May help reduce overall sugar consumption

Cons of artificial sweeteners:
- Potential future health issues if over-consumed
- Digestive issues
- Poor dietary choices]]> 2024-02-15 23:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885387406 twg4qq https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885387972 2024-02-16 00:00:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885387972 twg4qq https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885388276 2024-02-16 00:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885388276 vrx2kr https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885465920 2024-02-16 01:46:24 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885465920 vrx2kr https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885492490 2024-02-16 02:18:02 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2885492490 vrx2kr https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2886193289 2024-02-16 16:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2886193289 twg4qq https://padlet.com/vrx2kr/afvzve7c7i95pf4a/wish/2888303440 Chaison Vang
