(I) Carbohydrates are a vast and diverse group of nutrients found in most foods. (II) This group includes simple sugars and complex forms such as starches, which are broken down during digestion to produce simple sugars. (III) In contrast to the other carbohydrates, fibre is a type of complex carbohydrate that cannot be readily digested by our bodies. (IV) The main function of the simple sugars and starches in the foods we eat is to deliver calories for energy. (V) The simple sugar glucose is required to satisfy the energy needs of the brain, whereas our muscles use glucose for short-term bouts of activity.
