What happens to excess sugar in the body?

Sladkor je v normalnih količinah gorivo za naše telo.

Če pa ga pojemo več, se raven sladkorja v krvi poveča, trebušna slinavka izloči inzulin, ki izklopi izgorevanje maščob in spodbudi izgorevanje sladkorja kot prvega vira goriva v telesu.

Presežek sladkorja se shrani v energijskih zalogah (glikogen), predvsem v jetrih in mišicah dokler se ne zapolnijo.

Takrat se odvečni sladkor shrani v maščobnem tkivu v različnih organih, kar lahko vodi v debelost, sladkorno bolezen in maščobno okvaro jeter.
