From what I understand...the mouth with saliva is the initial process of the digestive tract. From that point enzymes and stomach acid break food down further. Once it begins moving through the intestines it's broke down and dispersed accordingly. All carbs break down into glucose (sugar) it flows through the blood. Your cells convert sugar to energy by use of insulin, which is created by the pancreas. Imagine insulin as the cells key to unlocking the energy!
