Sugar containing nutrients

Principle

Examination of foods for sugar content. Sugars are important nutrients in our foods. Like starch they belong to the carbohydrates. In contrast to starch, however, they can be directly absorbed into our bodies through the intestinal wall, without first having to be transformed through the digestive process. Hence they are very readily available as a source of energy, and it is for this reason that glucose has a refreshing and invigorating effect.
