    Starch is a polymer of glucose, which is hydrolyzed to the disaccharide stage as maltose, and glucose is obtained after complete hydrolysis. There are two types of starches: amylose and amylopectin. Amylose contains hundreds of glucose units, and amylopectin contains thousands of glucose units.

    Among the natural starches, the amylose accounts for about 22 26, it is soluble, and the rest is amylopectin. When tested with an iodine solution, the amylose solution appears blue, while amylopectin turns reddish-brown when it comes into contact with iodine.

    Starch is the nutrients stored in the plant body, existing in seeds and tubers, the starch content in all kinds of plants is higher, rice contains 62 86 starch, wheat contains 57 75 starch, maize contains 65 72 starch, potato contains 12 14 starch. Starch is an important part of food, and it feels a little sweet when chewing rice, etc., because the amylase enzyme in saliva hydrolyzes the starch into maltose, a disaccharide. After food enters the gastrointestinal tract, it can also be hydrolyzed by amylase secreted by the pancreas, and the glucose formed is absorbed by the wall of the small intestine and becomes a nutrient for human tissues.

    Partial hydrolysis of amylopectin produces a mixture called dextrin. Dextrin is mainly used as a food additive, glue, paste, and in the manufacture (finishing) of paper and textiles.

    Eating too much starch will make you fat, and starch is easily converted into fat, and it is difficult to consume.

    Chemically, starch is also sugar. We already know that sugar is sticky and can stick collagen together, creating "glycation" that causes muscles to lose their elasticity. When the muscles around the eyes lose their elasticity due to glycation, they cannot adjust the focus flexibly.

    When reading a book at close range for a long time, the muscles of the eyes may be fixed at the near focal length and not easily change to the far focal length, so it is not easy to see things in the distance. In severe cases, the lens of the eye itself can be glycated and become cloudy, forming cataracts and even leading to blindness, such as diabetic eye disease.

    Sugars and starches are sugary foods, the same amount of sugars and starch should contain the same amount of calories, but in general, sugars are easier to gain weight, because sugars are easier to be digested and absorbed by the body than starch, when the body's sugar intake continues to be higher than the body's consumption, it will lead to excess sugar, then the excess sugar will be converted into fat, and people will gain weight unconsciously.

    Here's how to explain it in detail:1It should be easier to gain weight with mooncakes.

    2.Obviously, cakes are easier to gain weight than steamed buns.

    3.Steamed bread.

    The first thing to say is that starch is made up of smaller molecules of maltose, which hydrolyze into small molecules of glucose. After the hydrolysis of sugars, they directly become small molecules of glucose, so the structure of starch is more complex than that of sugars, and in my opinion, eating foods with high sugar content directly will make it easier to gain weight than eating foods with high starch.

    I think ha, I don't usually eat rice, but it's okay to eat rice for a few days in a row, and it won't change much, but there was a period in March this year, I ate Shanxi fried knife noodles for a few days in a row, and the whole person was round, obvious, and it was a strong one... Horror...

    Generally, northerners are stronger than southerners because they are staple pasta desserts are also more likely to gain weight, you may be able to eat several barbecued pork buns in a row, but you must not eat more than two mooncakes and cakes in a row...

    Moreover, more than half of the cakes and moon cakes are also starch...

    The connection between starch and glucose: Starch is formed by the polymerization of glucose molecules, which is the most common storage form of carbohydrates in cells. After complete hydrolysis, a monosaccharide (glucose) is obtained. The difference between starch and glucose is as follows:

    First, the nature is different.

    1. Starch: It is a storage polysaccharide stored in cells in the form of starch grains during plant growth.

    2. Glucose: It is the most widely distributed and important monosaccharide in nature.

    Second, the physical properties are different.

    1. Starch: density: ; Melting Point: 153 - 158 C; Boiling Point: at 760 mmHg; Flash point:; Storage conditions: 2-8 C.

    2. Glucose: solubility: insoluble in cold water, ethanol and ether. Melting Point: 256-258; Density: g ml at 25 oC (lit.).);Boiling point:.

    Third, the use is different.

    1. Starch: In addition to being used for cooking, starch also plays a great role in all kinds of food processing, and the use of starch as an ingredient or main ingredient for food includes: all kinds of sausages, belly filling, cold powder, jiongzi, flour skin, vermicelli, ham, Luohan tripe, etc.

    2. Glucose: Glucose is also widely used in industry, as a reducing agent in the printing and dyeing leather industry, and is also commonly used as a reducing agent in the mirror industry, silver plating of hot water bottle bile and silver plating of glass fiber. Application of glucose in the manufacture of chrome tanning agents in the tanning industry:

    Chrome tanning agent is the best tanning agent for making light leather (shoe upper leather, garment leather).

    It is an amino acid that promotes the conversion of fat into energy. Non-toxic to humans***. It is especially suitable for people to do aerobic exercise to lose fat.

    The effect is more obvious. The reason why you can't eat anything sugary and starchy in any form is completely impossible, if then your normal diet can't be guaranteed, the reason why you ask for this is actually to make the effect more obvious. L-carnitine is not a drug, its main role is to burn fat, if you want to use L-carnitine, in addition to burning fat, you should also cooperate with appropriate exercise and control your diet.

    In other words, you have to give your body a chance to burn fat (exercise) for L-carnitine to work, and its role is to assist and accelerate fat burning. If you don't exercise every day, no amount of L-carnitine will be of any use.

    Although starch is not a very straightforward sugar, starch will be converted into glucose after entering our body, so it is not recommended for diabetics to eat too much starch.

    Can diabetics eat starch.

    Although starch is not a very straightforward sugar, starch will eventually be converted into glucose after entering our body, so it is not recommended for diabetics to eat too much starch, because it is actually not good for physical health, so I hope diabetics can pay attention.

    Diabetic patients should not eat more starch.

    Starch can be seen as a polymer of glucose, which is a polysaccharide made up of glucose. It is a high index food, so you should eat as little as possible, and eating too much may raise blood sugar. In fact, regardless of the level of sugar in the food, it can generally be eaten, mainly because of the distribution of energy in the main daily diet.
