All forms of carbohydrates are digested into monosaccharides (simple sugars) before they’re absorbed by the body, regardless of whether the original source was a spoonful of sugar or a bowl of oatmeal.
🍠 Generally speaking, complex carbohydrates are digested at a slower rate than simple carbohydrates, given they contain a larger amount of fiber, however, that does not mean that all simple carbohydrates are a poor choice and all complex carbohydrates are a good choice.
🥯Simple carbohydrates are found in many whole foods, such as fruits and milk, and complex carbohydrates can be found in many refined foods, such as baked goods, making them a less-than-ideal choice.
I suggest instead of focusing on the type of carbohydrate, simple or complex, it is best to focus on the amount of fiber, vitamins, and mineral present, and whether the item in question is a whole food or not.
