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)[reply]

Oppose Not necessarily. 120.16.218.233 (talk) 14:45, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support I have moved all of the extra information from carbohydrate chemistry to this article. I request deletion of the article carbohydrate chemistry and redirect any regarding links to this article. Pygos (talk) 08:12, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have completed merging. Pygos (talk) 15:27, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good work, thanks. ~Anachronist (talk) 18:17, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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
