[QUOTE="milesrf, post: 2170972, member: 13629"] Anything referring to complex carbs is usually from someone still using the obsolete idea that starches can only be digested by removing simple sugar units from the ends of the starch chains. More recent research shows that most of the digestive enzymes can break the chains at any point, and the types of links between the simple sugar units are much more important in determining which enzymes they will respond to. Cellulose has a type of links for which no animals with a backbone, and no people, produce an enzyme that can break these links. A few animals, such as termites, rabbits, and cattle, maintain colonies of bacteria that produce such an enzyme, and therefore they can get nutrition from cellulose after the bacteria break the links. Some foods have types of links for which the enzymes are slow to break the links. These include sweet potatoes, cooked dried beans, and pizza. [/QUOTE]
