Chapter 4 Carbs, Sugars, Starches, Fiber

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Refined Carbs   Carbohydrates that have been processed and have seperated from vit, min, and fiber. Example: corn into cornflakes  
🗑
Unrefined Carbs   Carbohydrates that are at its raw form or natural state. Example: fresh fruit, dairy, or whole grains  
🗑
List the 3 layers of a Whole Grain from superficial to deep.   Bran Layer: many vitamins and minerals Endosperm: Lg part, protein, little vit & min Germ: "embryo", source of oil & vit E  
🗑
Carbohydrates compared to other nutrients in a diet   Basis of most modern diets and accounts for 45-65% of my plate guidelines.  
🗑
Whole vs Refined   refined grains are mostly the endosperm & starch and maybe enriched with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, iron, and fortified with folate. DO NOT contain madnesium, vit E, and some B vits or other nutrients of whole grains.  
🗑
Photosynthesis   Plants convert glucose to starch. Humans eat plants convert starch to glucose.  
🗑
Monosaccharide   Single sugar molecule  
🗑
Disaccharide   Two molecules linked together  
🗑
Hydrolysis   Chemical reaction that breaks down sugar molecules  
🗑
Condensation Reaction   Chemical reaction that links two sugar molecules together  
🗑
Maltose   Glucose + glucose - starch - formed in digestive tract when starch is digested  
🗑
Lactose   Galactose + glucose - dairy  
🗑
Sucrose   Glucose + fructose - table sugar  
🗑
Galactose   Milk or dairy  
🗑
Glucose   Blood "blood sugar"  
🗑
Fructose   Plants - fruits, veggies, honey  
🗑
Complex Carbohydrates   Many monosaccharides linked together in chains  
🗑
Oligosaccharides   Short chains of less than 10  
🗑
Polysaccharide   Long chains of monosaccharides and includes glycogen  
🗑
Glycogen   Found in animals, starch, and fiber found in plants. How animals store carbs.  
🗑
Dietary Fiber   Complex carbs that can NOT be digested by human enzymes and can NOT be absorbed.  
🗑
Soluble Fiber   Fiber dissolves in water.  
🗑
Insoluble Fiber   Does not dissolve in water. Can be added to processed food to thicken and reduce fat. *add bulk*  
🗑
Good sources of soluble fiber examples:   legumes, prunes, apricots, raisins, oranges, bananas, oats, apples, eggplant, flaxseed  
🗑
Good sources of insoluble fiber examples:   wheat bran, whole wheat bread, broccoli, corn, eggplant, apples skins, nuts & seeds  
🗑
Lactose Intolerance   Enzyme lactase is needed to digest lactose. Must be digested in small intestine, if not then moves to lg intestine. Causes cramping, abdominal distention and diarrhea.  
🗑
Indigestible carbs   Resistant starch, Oligosaccharides, and fiber, are not digested and can affect transit time, type of instestinal microflora, intestinal gas, and nutrient absorption.  
🗑
Fiber inhibits absorption of   Cholesterol & bile (soluble fiber) Minerals, Zinc, Calcium, Magnesium, Iron Slows absorption of glucose by increasing volume and thickness of food *bulk*  
🗑
Regulation of Blood *sugar* Glucose   concentration of glucose is regulated by the liver and by enzymes secreted from the pancreas.  
🗑
Glycemic Response   How quickly and how high glucose rises after carbohydrate consumption.  
🗑
Glycemic Index   Ranking of how a food affects the glycemic response  
🗑
Glycemic Load   Calculated by a food's glycemic index by the amount of available carbs in a serving.  
🗑
Cellulalr Respiration   One glucose molecule creates 38 molecules of ATP, 6 molecules of H2O, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide.  
🗑
Diabetes Mellitus   Leading cause of blindness and accounts for 44% of new cases of kidney failure in US.  
🗑
Gestational Diabetes   Occurs in women who are pregnant and increases risk of type 2 diabetes later in life.  
🗑
2 Types of Diabetes Mellitus   Type 1: Insulin is not made in body Type 2: Insulin resistant  
🗑
Immediate Diabetic symptoms   excessive thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, weight gain.  
🗑
Long term Complications of Diabetes   damage to heart, blood vessels, kidneys, eyes & nervous system. Infections are more common in patients with diabetes and amputations may be necessary.  
🗑
Treatment of Diabetes   Keeping Blood sugar in normal ranges. Exercise, Diet, Blood glucose checks, and medications.  
🗑
Hypoglycemia   Over secretions of insulin in response to carb intake. Treatment through frequent small meals including protein.  
🗑
Fasting Hypoglycemia   Abnormal insulin secretions not related to food intake.  
🗑
Carbs and Dental care   Sucrose + Bacteria --> Plaque formation + Acid production --> Erodes dental enamel & formation of caries  
🗑
Low Carb diets   Produce more ketones which help suppress appetite.  
🗑
Carbs and heart disease   diets high in fiber found to reduce heart disease because water soluble fiber binds to cholesterol and reduces absorption of cholesterol.  
🗑
Fiber and Bowel Disorders   high in fiber and indigestible carbs can relieve or prevent hemorrhoids, diverticulosis, diverticulitis, and constipation.  
🗑
Carb intake formula   Total # of Kcals x 4grams = 4(total Kcal) 4(total Kcal) ------------------------ x 100 = % of energy total Kcals in total diet from carbs  
🗑
High Fiber   4-5 grams  
🗑
Medium Fiber   2-3 grams  
🗑
Low Fiber   0.5-1 gram  
🗑
