Carbohydrates

|
Consumption of carbohydrates is not actually essential to life but is
very helpful. Carbohydrates are a very broad group of nutrients broken
down into two large sub-categories: sugars and the more complex type known
as fiber.
Carbohydrates (sugar and starch) may be burned for energy or incorporated into
body tissues. If consumed in excess, carbohydrates will be converted
and stored as body fat.
