High fructose corn syrup is made in 42 and 55% fructose and the other percent in glucose. Table sugar is made of 50% glucose and 50% fructose. They both have the same number of 4 calories per gram. High fructose corn syrup is found in many processed foods to enhance flavor, and keep products fresh [...]
Because digestion of complex carbohydrates takes longer to breakdown the sugar molecules, it takes the body a longer period of time to burn the glucose. The body doesn’t have as much excess glucose at one time and is less likely to be stored as fat. When the body needs energy, it breaks down the glucose [...]
Continued from previous blog.. With all the insulin rushing into the body to balance out the blood sugar, the blood sugar levels drop low and triggers the appetite which then leads to overeating and craving more of those simple carb/sweet foods. Our bodies have a limit on how much sugar it can store as fuel. [...]

For example, blood sugar is the monosaccharide glucose, table sugar is the disaccharide sucrose, and milk sugar is the disaccharide lactose. Monosaccharides are glucose(also known as dextrose), fructose, [...]
So, I did a little research to find out if I could eat candy bars in the place of other foods with carbs, like bagals or english muffins. My thought process was, “if the carbs get broken down into sugar anyway, then what’s the difference?” I looked up what a carbohydrate was. A carbohydrate is [...]
Thinking to myself, I wondered what the real difference was between eating a candy bar, such as a Snickers, with 35 grams of carbohydrates as opposed to eating a bagal with the same amount of carbs. Is one really worse to eat than the other? To be continued….
