Carbohydrates[note 1] or saccharides[note 2] are the most abundant of the four major classes of biomolecules. They fill numerous roles in living things, such as the storage and transport of energy (e.g., starch, glycogen) and structural components (e.g., cellulose in plants and chitin in arthropods). In addition, carbohydrates and their derivatives play major roles in the working process of the immune system, fertilization, pathogenesis, blood clotting, and development. [1]Carbohydrates are simple organic compounds that are aldehydes or ketones with many hydroxyl groups added, usually one on each carbon atom that is not part of the aldehyde or ketone functional group. The basic carbohydrate units are called monosaccharides; examples are glucose, galactose, and fructose. The general stoichiometric formula of an unmodified monosaccharide is (C·H2O)n, where n is any number of three or greater; however, not all carbohydrates conform to this precise stoichiometric definition (e.g., uronic acids, deoxy-sugars such as fucose), nor are all chemicals that do conform to this definition automatically classified as carbohydrates.[2] Monosaccharides can be linked together into what are called polysaccharides (or oligosaccharides) in a large variety of ways. Many carbohydrates contain one or more modified monosaccharide units that have had one or more groups replaced or removed. For example, deoxyribose, a component of DNA, is a modified version of ribose; chitin is composed of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine, a nitrogen-containing form of glucose. While the scientific nomenclature of carbohydrates is complex, the names of carbohydrates very often end in the suffix -ose. Glycoinformatics is the specialized field of study that deals with the specific and unique bioinformatics of carbohydrates.

2. Drugs are not the answer for type-2 diabetes
November 19, 2009
Before 'healthy eating' was introduced in the 1980s there were many fewer type-2 diabetics than there are today. Those who were diabetic lived on a very low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. And as long as they stayed on it, they were completely healthy. Today diabetics are recommended by dieticians to eat more carbohydrates ('carbohydrate' is just a common name for all kinds of sugar, glucose, sucrose, starch and cellulose, all of which are composed of sugars) all of which raise blood glucose levels. Diabetics are then prescribed drugs to bring down the resultant high levels of glucose i... (read more)

3. Low Fat Not No Fat
November 18, 2009
Eating less fat (and less saturated fat, in particular) is one of the best things you can d for your health and our body shape. Cutting back on fat makes it easier to maintain a healthy weight.

4. important diet tips
November 16, 2009
If you're a late-night eater, have a carbohydrate, such as a slice of bread of a cracker, before bedtime to cut down on cravings. Keep an orange slice or a glass of water by your bed to quiet the hunger pangs that wake you up.
If you use food as a reward, establish a new reward system. Buy yourself a non-edible reward. Write down everything you eat - - everything - including what you taste when you cook. If you monitor what you eat, you can't go off your diet.
Weigh yourself once a week at the same time. Your weight fluctuates constantly and you can weigh more at night than you did... (read more)

20. How Athletes Can Balance Protein and Carbohydrate Needs
October 22, 2009
The ultimate question in any athlete’s mind is how to properly balance his or her intake of nutrients. It’s actually a fairly complex problem, because there are conflicting ideas at work that can confuse even the most dedicated athlete.
For example, you want carbohydrate for energy, but too much carbohydrate can make you lethargic or make you crash. If you focus on a lot of protein, your body won’t have a readily available source of energy because it takes longer to break down protein than carbohydrate.
Athletes need a different type of diet than a weightlifter, because an athlete is... (read more)
