ILSI Europe Concise Monograph Series 

This booklet, "Carbohydrates: Nutritional and Health Aspects", reviews the latest scientific knowledge and understanding of the nutritional and health aspects of carbohydrates. It updates and supersedes the ILSI Europe Concise Monograph entitled "Starches and Sugars: A Comparison of their Metabolism in Man" which was published in 1991.

The production of this Concise Monograph was stimulated by the publication in 1997 of the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Consultation on "Carbohydrates in Human Nutrition", recommending the consideration of new terminology based on the physiological function of carbohydrates. Topics addressed are the classification of carbohydrates, carbohydrate intake, digestion and metabolism, as well as the health effects of carbohydrates: control of body weight, physical activity, intestinal physiology and tolerance, disease relationships, oral health, cognitive function and immune system effects.

Further details on sugars may still be found in the ILSI Europe Concise Monograph on "Nutritional and Health Aspects of Sugar---Evaluation of New Findings".
