Talk:Carbohydrate

Inappropriate picture/caption
The image of very REFINED grain foods (white bread, pasta, flour, sugar are pictured) is captioned: "Unrefined grain products are rich sources of complex carbohydrates". This should be changed to a more appropriate image I think..

Merge proposal
Cursory inspection suggests that carbohydrate chemistry (which is not a strong article) should be merged into this article. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:52, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Reference to insulin
The article includes “ Other polysaccharides contained in dietary fiber include resistant starch and inulin”. Insulin is a polypeptide comprised of 51 amino acids. It isn’t a polysaccharide. 2A00:23C8:4303:7F01:F587:E225:1D37:4BBD (talk) 11:08, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Systematic IUPAC nomenclature for carbohydrates
Should we add this to the article? In addition to the common name, carbohydrates also have a system of unique name rules. http://publications.iupac.org/pac/1996/pdf/6810x1919.pdf
