Whenever you pick up any food, the nutrition label will tell you about the food’s carbohydrates. Listed on every food label is “Total Carbohydrates.” Within this short phrase is embedded much information – that isn’t written<\/em> on the rest of the nutrition label!<\/p>\n It’s like breaking some surreptitious cypher.<\/p>\n Bereft of so much info regarding phytochemcials, antioxidants, creatine and other macro nutrient supplements, amino acids and the like, the label includes the basics. These basic serve the needs of most of society however.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n This portion of food label anatomy refers to the 5 and 6 carbon saccharides that the food mainly contains. It also refer to the FIBER found within the food.<\/p>\n Consider why do we mention fiber but not complex carbs?<\/p>\n Answer: fiber, 25 grams of the stuff, it necessary to ward off the long term matriculation of interstitial cancers. As such, the nebulous recommended amount we should eat is 25.<\/p>\n Yet, most of us don’t get nearly that amount.<\/p>\n Conversely, simple carbohydrates are the basic building monomers of blood sugar.<\/p>\n Resting blood sugar keeps us alive.<\/p>\n As a result, Total Carbohydrates refers to those basic needs of everyone without telling the full story.<\/p>\n Complex carbs, like disaccharides and polysaccharides, are not lifted. But, these macros are every bit as useful to know about.<\/p>\n Simply stated, TOTAL (Minus) SUGARS (\/Minus) Fiber (Equals) COMPLEX CARBS!<\/p>\nTotal Carbohydrates<\/h3>\n
