Question:

From India:

Does eating sugar/carbohydrates with salt and without salt make some difference in sugar/carbohydrate absorption in the intestines since glucose and sodium are co-transported via active transport?

Answer:

Yes. There are co-transporters within the gut that move both electrolytes and glucose. The oral rehydration of cholera patients was improved when this observation was made and therapy also included glucose.
