What happens to your body when you eat sugar?
Once sugar enters the bloodstream, blood sugar causes the pancreas to increase insulin release (insulin needed to convert sugar into energy). When a large amount of sugar consumed, more insulin is released. Insulin that converts sugar into instant energy source, which explains the high-energy jolt from a donut or a piece of cake.
After a high level of insulin is released, blood sugar levels began to decrease rapidly so that there is a problem shortly after eating sugary foods. Besides converting sugar into energy, insulin also stimulates fat storage.Therefore, the more sugar you eat the more insulin is produced. As a result, the more likely you will gain weight.
