Dear woodstock99-ga,
The two products are carbon dioxide and water. You may wish to read
all the information on these web sites to understand the processes
involved.
"Digestion Of Carbohydrate
One of the primary goals of the digestive process is to provide every
body cell with sufficient amounts of energy to sustain itself and
remain alive. Many of the vital chemical reactions that take place in
the cell require energy, which is derived from the oxidation of the
glucose, within the cell. Glucose is carried to the cell as the end
product of carbohydrate metabolism.
There, in the presence of enzymes and oxygen, the glucose is converted
into carbon dioxide, water and energy. The carbon dioxide and water
are non-essential by-products of this reaction; the important product
is the heat energy, which is derived from the glucose.
glucose + oxygen = carbon dioxide + water + heat"

"Although the three major foodstuffs?proteins, carbohydrates, and
fats?have different chemical compositions and follow independent
biochemical pathways, at a certain stage in metabolic reactions, they
all form carbon compounds. These compounds follow the same pattern of
oxidative reactions that eventually yield carbon dioxide and water for
excretion from the body."

I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you
