Reference no: EM133626846

Assignment:

In Unit 5, you explore digestion and metabolism, which includes carbohydrate metabolism and, more specifically, glucose metabolism. Glucose is a type of simple sugar that our cells primarily use to make energy or ATP. In a lot of the food products that we consume, there are naturally occurring sugars as well as added sugars. A large portion of the added sugars that we ingest comes from the drinks we consume, like soft drinks, energy drinks, and flavored waters, as well as processed foods like cookies, cakes, and candy. According to the Dietary Guidelines 2015-2020, added sugars should account for less than 10% of our daily total caloric intake and are currently averaging at 13%. The added sugar intake in our diets has been linked to some disease processes like obesity and cardiovascular disease.
