Document Summary

Regulation of metabolism and body temperature: carbohydrates: dietary sources. Except for lactose and a small amount of glycogen in meats, essentially all dietary carbohydrates come from plants. Sugars: fruits, sugar cane, sugar beets, honey, milk. Cellulose: most vegetables, provides roughage or bre: carbohydrates: uses in body. Glucose is the major body fuel used to make atp, where galactose and fructose are converted to glucose via isomerization. Neurons and red blood cells rely almost 100% on glucose, whereas other cell types can use fats. Blood glucose must be maintained for optimal brain health. If blood glucose is too high, the excess is converted to glycogen and fat: carbohydrates: dietary requirements. 100g/day of carbohydrates is required for minimum blood glucose levels (cns function). However, 130gm is the daily recommended intake from primarily complex carbs (whole grains/ vegetables. It is recommended that 45-65% of total calorie consumption is in carbohydrates.
