HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Though most carbohydrates are broken down into sugar molecules called glucose, fiber cannot be broken down into sugar molecules, and instead it passes through the body undigested. Fiber helps regulate the body’s use of sugars, helping to keep hunger and blood sugar in check.

Detailed explanation-2: -We gain no nutrients or energy from fibre, it holds no calories as it is not digested, but passes through our digestive systems. Fibre or ‘roughage’ does, however, provide an important function in the body; it is essential to a well-tuned digestive system and can help the body remove potentially harmful waste.
