On level 3 of Amigo we explore information on a very sweet topic: Carbohydrates!
Ranging from fructose to more complex forms of sugar, carbohydrates are part of our daily diet. Which ones are better than others? Find out by playing a game!

Carbohydrates serve many purposes, including as storage of energy and structural components of coenzymes! Other name by which we call Carbohydrates is Saccharides, or sugar. Sugar helps biomolecules play key roles in the immune system, fertilization, prevent pathogenesis, and development.
Perhaps you would like to learn how to use this knowledge in order to benefit your health!
Fructose (sugar found in fruits) does not make you gain more weight than other types of carbohydrates, Canadian researchers reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine. They found that a little extra fructose added to foods did not trigger weight gain, as long as the participants reduced the equivalent total calories from other carbs. In other words, fructose calories are no more fattening than the same number of calories in other carbohydrate foods.
The authors explained that fructose's contribution to excess bodyweight in Western societies is often mentioned, but no studies have clearly shown a connection. John L. Sievenpiper, MD, PhD., and team set out to determine what effect fructose might have on people's weight in controlled eating trials.
