4.3 Exogenous Carbohydrate Load

Exogenous Carbohydrate Load is an entry-load variable from external food input. It pushes the system toward glucose scheduling and changes Insulin Regulation State.

Exogenous means from food, not endogenous glucose production. Load means system burden, not moral judgment.

Long-term repeated load changes dominant scheduling and which substrate can serve as Primary Energy Substrate.

Upstream source of carbohydrate entry—not isolated percentage alone.

Form affects release rate and small-intestinal accommodation.

Scheduling response to repeated glucose entry.

Whether carbohydrate or fatty acids dominate long term.

Digestive and urinary outputs backtrace to load and structure, not to “carbohydrate allergy” by default.
