Starchy carbohydrates take longer to be digested, therefore they do not flood the body with sugar the way rapidly digested sugary carbohydrates do, and when the blood sugar rises very rapidly, that brings about a large insulin secretion which places a strain on the pancreas.
Starch is a complex carbohydrate whereas sugar is simple. Starch breaks down into sugar. Starch is like a slow burning fire and sugar is like an explosion. Though the same amount of energy might be released in both, the starch lets the energy out over a longer time.
Yes, fatty foods have more chemical energy than sugary food because fatty foods have so much more chemical energy, but fatty food isn't good for you.
What foods you eat really do affect how you feel. If you eat starchy and carbohydrate enriched foods, you're more likely to be tired than those who ate protein.
Fresh fruits and vegetables, drink water or unsweetened tea, chicken and fish. Often, the good foods have fewer than four ingredients and are cooked and prepared by you, not a manufacturer. That is better than the list of don'ts, which includes transfats, white breads and pasta, saturated fats and sugary foods.
None of the above. ~Doctor of Dentology.
There is a lot of sugar which if is on your teeth constantly eats away at them. For instance, teeth wise, chocolate is better for your teeth than a lollipop because a lollipop is constant sugar on your teeth because you are sucking on it for 30-45 min., but a candy bar, you eat it and its gone and i know it doesnt take me half an hour to eat a candy bar!
Yes. I just did a lab with regard to that exact question in biology yesterday. However, I do not know why cassava is more 'starchy' than potato.
Prepare all your meals at the start of the day and eat only what you have prepared for each meal. Try to avoid fatty or sugary foods as these will do far more damage to you than other foods.
Because it is healthier and can be less sugary. It also should have less chemicals and is a more natural product.
Nothing unusual at all. Scientists have proven that sugary foods make no difference to the human body in way at all than it does to normal food.
You get Diabetes eventually.---------------------------------------------------------------While eating too many sugary foods can lead to diabetes, it is not always the case. When you eat too many sugary foods your body releases a hormone called insulin from your pancreas into your bloodstream. Insulin absorbs suagr from the blood to enable you to use it for energy rather than store it as fat but when you eat too much suagr you build up a resistence to insulin and it loses its power to convert sugar to energy. Eating too many sugary foods will, most often, result in weight gain, Other times it can lead to low magnesium levels (needed for blood circulation), water retention, high blood pressure and possibly even Heart disease. - Laurynm
