THE INDIVIDUAL FOODSTUFFS AND VITAMINE FACTORS
A study of the individual foodstuffs and vitamines will furnish the
first link in the chain which constitutes our present knowledge of
dietetics.
CARBOHYDRATES
In the ordinary mixed diet of man, the carbohydrates predominate, being
not only the most abundant, but also the most economical source of
energy. The term carbohydrate covers all of the simple sugars and those
substances which can be converted into simple sugars by hydrolysis; the
ones of special interest in this study are divided into three groups,
known as, Monosaccharides (C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}); Disaccharides
(C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}) and Polysaccharides (C_{6}H_{10}O_{15}).
