Types:
Simple CHO (sugars)
Complex CHO or polysaccharides
(fibre and starch)
Simple Sugars (Fig 4.2)
1. Monosaccharides
Glucose
Galactose
Fructose
2. Disaccharides
Sucrose (glucose + fructose)
Maltose (glucose + glucose)
Lactose (glucose + galactose)
Complex or Polysaccharides
Fig 4.3: chains of glucose linked together
Plant forms: starch and fibre
human digestive enzymes can break the
bonds between glucose units in starch but
not in fibre e.g. cellulose
Animal form: glycogen (more branched)
human digestive enzymes can break the
bonds
found in liver and muscle (meat) – broken
down at slaughtering
Recommendations (Table 4.1)
DRI
45-65% of energy from carbohydrates, emphasis
on complex and whole grain
<25% of energy from added sugars
Nutrition Recommendation Canadians (2003)
55% energy from CHO
Suggested intake:
WHO: >25 g per day
DRI: <50 yrs: males 38 g/d; females 25 g/d;
>50 yrs: males 30 g/d; females 21 g/d
Fibre content of common foods, Fig 4.4
Types of Fibre (Table 4.2)
Family history
Sedentary lifestyle
Overweight / obese
Moderate weight gain in adulthood
History of gestational diabetes
Genes: Aboriginal, African American,
Hispanic, Asian, Pacific Island descent
Warning signs of diabetes
(Table 4.7)
2. Oral agents
3. Sometimes insulin injections

CHO Counting
Management:
Consume milk in small amounts (1/2 - 1
cup) with meals
Yogurt, aged cheeses
Products treated with lactase e.g.
Lactaid milk, ice cream
Add enzyme drops to milk-based foods
Lactaid pills
Milk Allergy
