Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are found in a wide array of both healthy and unhealthy foods-bread, beans, milk, popcorn, potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft drinks, corn, and cherry pie. They also come in a variety of forms. The most common and abundant forms are sugars, fibers, and starches.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complex carbohydrates: These are also called starches. Starches include grain products, such as bread, crackers, pasta, and rice. As with simple sugars, some complex carbohydrate foods are better choices than others.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex Carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are made of one or two sugar molecules and are easily absorbed, rapidly increasing blood sugar levels. Examples include refined grains, such as white bread, candy and desserts. These simple carbohydrates often lack vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bread is high in carbs-a single slice of white bread packs an average of 13 grams (3). Your body breaks down carbs into glucose, leading to an increase in blood sugar levels.

Detailed explanation-5: -They can be broadly divided into two main groups; simple carbohydrates (or sugars) and complex carbohydrates (AKA starches). Common examples of simple carbohydrates include glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Examples of complex carbohydrates include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
