Starches are digested, fibers are not: monosaccharides: simple. Disaccharides: formed when two monosaccharides are bonded together. Honey, sugar cane, sugar beets, and maple sugar. Grains, fruits, vegetables: amylose (fiber) and amylopectin (fruits) Fiber: class mostly made up of polysaccharides, humans do not possess the enzymes to break down fiber, comprised of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectins, gums, and mucilages, and lignin. These are all parts of plants: insoluble fiber (doesn"t attract water) Natural laxative and speeds up gi transit times: soluble fiber (does attract water) Slows the rate of absorption, reduces blood cholesterol, and controls blood glucose. Fruits, vegetables, and dairy: all contain carbohydrates, fruit fructose and sucrose. Fiber in fruit helps with wt. mgt. by providing fullness with fewer calories. Idea with low glycemic index diet: vegetables.
