Carbohydrates are a direct source of energy for the body and are divided into two types: simple and complex. SIMPLE carbohydrates or sugars are rapidly broken down into glucose. The fact that they hit the blood stream so fast can cause problems. COMPLEX carbohydrates or starches are broken down into glucose more slowly so that the body can absorb and process them more slowly and efficiently.
