2. Total calorie consumption should consist of 45-65% carbs to support cells and body function. Higher need for intake raises consumption levels in diets
3. Galactose is needed for your body while fructose raises cholesterol and fat accumulation around the organs. Essentially glucose are good sugars and fructose are bad sugars.
4. It's a heart healthy diet that can lower cholesterol and reduce chances of stroke. Typically it's recommended that you eat less fats and change the types of fat (saturated vs. unsaturated)
