Fish Oil Dosage - Can I Take Too Much Omega-3 Fish Oil?

Carbohydrates are a main dietary component. These include sugar, starches and fiber. They provide energy for the body as well. The liver breaks carbohydrates into blood sugar (glucose). They are either simple or complex. This depends on the chemical structure and how quickly they are absorbed by the body. An example of complex carbohydrates are whole grain breads and cereals, starchy vegetables and legumes. These are good food choices because they are not as easily absorbed or converted to fat by the body.
