Explanation:
Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy, so it digests a lot faster than both lipids and proteins although they are equally important. The digestion of carbs starts right in the mouth, where enzymes in the saliva break down food.
If you have ever let bread sit in your mouth for a long time, you will find that it tastes sweet. This is because the carbohydrates are being broken down into sugars by your saliva, even before it enters the stomach!
