Carbohydrates come in two forms - complex and simple. The human body turns all types of carbs into glucose or blood sugar. However, complex carbs allow glucose levels to rise slowly, whereas simple carbs are converted to glucose very quickly. Complex carbs are found in foods like peas, beans, whole grains and vegetables. Foods that contain complex carbs also contain a lot of other valuable sources of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Simple carbs are found in fruits, milk, dairy products, candy, syrups, soda and any type of processed or refined sugar. Complex carbs and simple carbs like fruit, milk and other dairy products, should all be included in a healthy diet.
