Title says it all
In: Biology
Well, technically sugar is a carb.
But what you mean is mostly starch. Starch is a chain of sugar molecules, your body breaks it down into sugar to gain energy.
This takes some energy and some time, so it’s better for you than sugar (no insulin spike). But carbs aren’t all the same, long chained ones take more effort to break down than short chained ones (wich is why white bread has such a bad reputation)
