True or False: Complex carbohydrates convert to glucose quickly, resulting in energy crashes.

The correct understanding is that complex carbohydrates do not convert to glucose quickly, which is why they are not associated with energy crashes. Instead, complex carbohydrates are made up of longer chains of sugar molecules, which take more time for the body to break down and digest. This slower digestion leads to a gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream, providing a more sustained energy level.

In contrast, simple carbohydrates, which contain shorter chains of sugar, can lead to a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. This rapid conversion can result in quick bursts of energy followed by energy crashes as blood sugar levels drop. Thus, the assertion that complex carbohydrates convert to glucose quickly is inaccurate, leading to the selection of "False" as the correct answer.
