SIMPLE SUGARS

There are five types of monosaccharides or simple sugars.

Glucose — from vegetables; contain 6 carbon bonds called hexoses

Fructose — from fruits; contain 6 carbon bonds called hexoses

Galactose — from milk (infants only); contain 6 carbon bonds called

hexoses

called pentoses

Deoxyribose (DNA) — from fruits and vegetables; contain 5 carbon

bonds called pentoses.

Proteins and their Metabolism

The term “protein” is used to designate a structure created from chained
amino acids. We tend to use this word in general when defining the needs of
the body, but is important to understand that your body is not designed to use
and metabolize “structures.” Since your body is designed to use only the
simplest of compounds and bio-available elements, it must break down
(digest) these “structures” into the elements that comprise them, and then use
these simpler compounds for its own needs.

Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are made up of carbon,
hydrogen, oxygen, lots of nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and iron. As noted
