Interesting facts about carbohydrates.
Complex carbohydrates are the starches (grain products and vegetables) and naturally occurring sugars (glucose/fructose in fruits and plants, lactose in milk). Complex carbohydrate are metabolized by the body over time, allowing a slow, even release of energy. In addition, foods that contain complex carbohydrates in their natural, unrefined form (grains, fruit, and milk) also contain vitamins, minerals, and fiber needed by the human body. Soluble fiber like pectin, found in apples and citrus fruits, help to slow glucose absorption by the body.
