No, it is not. Starch contains multiple molecules glucose bonded together in a condensation reaction. This means that water is loss when the glucose is bonded together. In order for your body to utilise the chemcial energy stored in starch, your body has to break it back down to glucose molecules by using enzymes. Stach is broken down to maltose using amylase and maltose is broken down to glucose using maltase. Both processes, however, are hydration reactions. This means that water is used in the process of breaking down starch. Starch consumption is extremely dangerous as consuming large amounts of starch can lead to rapid dehydration of your body. This will cause your cells to crenate and die due to the decrease in its water potential.
