ketogenicLet’s zoom into the GI tract for a minute. When you eat a carbohydrate, which are found in anything from oatmeal to soda to tomatoes, it is broken down into glucose. The main role of glucose is to supply energy for all of our bodily processes. Our bodies are actually a lot less discriminatory toward the source of glucose than we might think — it uses the carbs from a tomato, a cracker, or a jellybean the same way: to make energy! (Of course, there are different benefits of a tomato versus a cracker or jellybean, but that’s a discussion for another day). We store glucose in a few different ways: as glycogen (long chains of glucose) in the liver and muscle tissue and extra as fat in our adipose cells.
