Introduction:

Carbohydrates in our diet are the primary source of energy for the body. Most carbohydrates get broken down into simpler components like glucose, which is then utilized to create high energy molecules like ATP (adenosine triphosphate). The ATP is the energy currency, which provides the cell the energy to carry out various metabolic functions. Glucose is often the most readily available source of energy for the body.
