| Carbohydrates are the only fuel source for many vital organs, including the brain, central nervous system and kidneys. The digestive system breaks down carbohydrates into glucose and the pancreas secretes a hormone called insulin to help the glucose migrate from the blood into the cells. There is emerging evidence that if a diet is high in refined high glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates then this may overstimulate insulin production, but diets high in unrefined high fibre lower GI carbohydrates have a more attenuated effect on insulin. |
