Document Summary

Essential fatty acids- linolenic (omega 3), linoleic acid (omega 6) Cephalic phase- neurally mediated, optimizes efficiency, saliva (digest starch) and digestive juices secreted. Glucose found in fruits, veggies, honey (veggies healthy) Fructose in fruits, honey, corn syrup (unhealthy things) Sucrose- in sugar cane and sugar beets (disaccharide makes more whole sugar things) Fiber- support structures- exercises and cellular turnover of gut (texture in food to work out gut) Alpha bonds in between glucose in starch are easily broken, beta bonds (crooked) can"t break in human. Endosperm is all that"s left for non-whole wheat stuff, bran and germ taken off. Starches- salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, brush border enzymes. High blood glucose: insulin convert glucose to glycogen. Low blood glucose: glucagon released to make liver break down glycogen into glucose in blood. Saccharin- sweet and low, non-digestible, derived from petroleum. Cariogenic bacteria make acid as part of metabolism after eating sugar sitting on teeth that fermented.
