 Fats are broken down and digested into fatty acids and glycerol  Proteins are digested into amino acids  Carbohydrates are digested into simple sugars â¢ Digestion involves mechanical and chemical processes. An enzyme is a protein that speeds up a chemical reaction; digestive enzymes speed up the breakdown of a food.Fats are broken down and digested into fatty acids and glycerol  Proteins are digested into amino acids  Carbohydrates are digested into simple sugars â¢ Digestion involves mechanical and chemical processes.

Digestion, absorption and energy value of carbohydrates. Much has been learned about carbohydrate digestion and absorption over the last 20 years, and this new knowledge has, in many ways, changed completely the way we think about dietary carbohydrates. We now know that starches are not completely digested, and, indeed, some are quite poorly digested. We have learned that the undigestible carbohydrates are not just neutral bulking agents, but have important physiologic effects, and even contribute energy to the diet. Sugar is not bad for health, and starches are not all equal in their effects on blood glucose and lipids.
