Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Simple carbohydrates are easy for our bodies to break down.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The carbs in some foods (mostly those that contain simple sugars and highly refined grains, such as white flour and white rice) are easily broken down and cause blood sugar levels to rise quickly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple carbs are more quickly digested and absorbed than complex ones, so simple carbs can raise your blood glucose levels faster and higher.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex carbohydrates include starches and fiber. Unlike their more simple counterparts, complex carbs contain many sugar units that are attached together via long and/or branched chains. These complicated molecules can be harder for your body to break down.

Detailed explanation-4: -As complex carbohydrates have longer chains, they take longer to break down and provide more lasting energy in the body than simple carbohydrates. Both types of carbohydrate are often present in many foods.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sugars are easily digested by the human body. Glucose molecules are small enough to pass directly through cell membranes and serve as fuel, while complex sugars are broken down into their respective simple sugars in the intestine and then used.
