Carbohydrates

Low carb. No carb. What's the real story on carbohydrates?  Green plants contain simple carbohydrates such as sucrose (table sugar) and fructose.  More complex carbohydrates, such as starch, also come from grain, wheat and oats.  Carbohydrates are further linked to cellulose and indigestible forms known as fiber.  Shifting from one form to another in diets can have a positive impact on the health of animals...which is why MAZURI^® chose to shift from sucrose to fructose in our new primate line.  Fructose does not lead to diabetes and doesn't ferment in the mouth the same way as sucrose, which helps maintain healthy teeth and gums.  To get proper utilization of nutrients, a diet must also contain a full compliment of B vitamins.   MAZURI^® diets combine the proper balance that turns carbohydrates into energy for all species.
