The building blocks of all carbohydrates are monosaccharides, also known as simple sugars. These include Glucose, Fructose and Galactose. When someone eats a meal containing carbohydrates, the body breaks it down into these monosaccharides for immediate energy, or stores it in the form of polysaccharides in the muscle and liver for later use if blood glucose levels are already high. ]]> 2021-08-18 00:25:43 UTC https://padlet.com/znoo2716/y3er5o7t5e8cral6/wish/1683044616 mkha4679 https://padlet.com/znoo2716/y3er5o7t5e8cral6/wish/1683053900 While at rest, our energy source is 10% protein, 40% fat, 50% carbohydrates. However, under intense activity, our energy source is 50% fat and 50% carbohydrates.

Between 1970 and 2005 there has been an increase of 10,673% in high fructose corn syrup. 

There is a common misconception that all carbohydrates are bad for you. However, this is a myth. Carbohydrates come in two forms, simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. While simple carbs like soft drinks are digested quickly in the body and lead to a crash, complex carbohydrates have a much longer digestion process and do not lead to a crash. Hence, all carbohydrates are not bad.

Sugar. Sugar is the simplest form of carbohydrate and occurs naturally in some foods, including fruits, vegetables, milk and milk products. Types of sugar include fruit sugar (fructose), table sugar (sucrose) and milk sugar (lactose).
Starch. Starch is a complex carbohydrate, meaning it is made of many sugar units bonded together. Starch occurs naturally in vegetables, grains, and cooked dry beans and peas.
Fiber. Fiber also is a complex carbohydrate. It occurs naturally in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and cooked dry beans and peas.
