Cards

Term
How do whole foods reduce consumption of added sugars?

What is glucose?
Definition

single sugar

only sugar in starch

most abundant sugar in diet

body's source of energy

Term

Definition

can be used by areas of the body that cannot use fat as enegy (brain)

alter brain function to
