If all carbohydrates get broken down to their most simple form, sugar, why is it unhealthy to just eat tablespoons of sugar?
In: Biology
Not all carbs do. Some fibers get broken down to component parts only by the bacteria in your colon, at the very end of the digestive tract. Others are somewhere in the middle but are still used mainly by bacteria without resulting in sugars that get absorbed. These bacteria are very important for your digestive and nervous systems as a whole.
