In the context of the statement "Breads are an excellent source of simple carbohydrates," the correct answer is:
False.
Explanation:
1. Breads can be a source of carbohydrates, but whether they provide simple or complex carbohydrates depends on the type of bread.
2. While some breads like white bread contain simple carbohydrates that are quickly digested and absorbed by the body, other breads like whole wheat or whole grain breads contain complex carbohydrates that take longer to break down and provide sustained energy.
3. Simple carbohydrates can lead to rapid spikes in blood sugar levels, followed by a crash, whereas complex carbohydrates provide a more steady release of energy over time.
4. Therefore, not all breads are excellent sources of simple carbohydrates; the type of bread matters in determining the kind of carbohydrates it contains.
