Document Summary
Cho: organic compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen: simple cho (sugars): di- and monosaccharides. Maltose (glucose + glucose): this is really small, not like complex glycogen. Many canadians eat what athlete eat but don"t work our so lots of stored fat. Historically, small ones were simple carbs and longer were complex. this refers to size of the molecule. however, some complex carb foods are handled in the body like simple carbs. Simple carb: sugars (either kindle or disaccharide which are 2 glucose/combinations) Mono is one glucose and compounds are attached together. Complex carbs: e. g. glycogen- many glucose molecules bound together: complex cho (starches): 3 or more glucose molecules combined; Polysaccharide = 10 or more (short chains ~10-20 called glucose polymers or maltodextrin); thousands of molecules = starches or fibre (plants) or glycogen (animals) There are man made short chain glucose polymers. When you eat animal meat, there is glycogen in there and it"s stored as glucose.
