Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is incorrect. Whole grains are not classified as starches, though they do contain carbohydrates and some starch. Processed grains are not classified as sugars, though they may be more easily converted into sugars by the body due to their refined state. Both whole grains and processed grains can contribute to carbohydrate intake and blood sugar levels.
