Dear Barb #2
How did sugars in
the diet become so
complicated and
difficult to under-
stand? Rachel
WHAT IS THE ROLE OF
SUCROSE OR TABLE SUGAR?
Much To Do!
ONGOING
SO WHAT HAPPENS TO
EXCESS SUGAR WE EAT?
Excess sugar:
• Goes into urine to be discarded
• Stores as fat for future use
• Is made into fatty acids to become a
triglyceride fat which later travels to
cells, organs, and becomes stored
• Can even be converted by cells into
fat, protein and fattening glucose
• Can raise blood glucose levels and
elevate insulin levels
• For those who are genetically
susceptible, may contribute to insulin
resistance. This sugar then adds to
weight gain, diabetes, or Syndrome
X (a metabolic condition)
• Is oxidized as a glucose molecule and
is stored as glycogen in the liver or
muscles
• Is broken down quickly and then
releases blood sugar rapidly. The
Glycemic Index number for table
sugar is 65; which is a high number
• Has been theorized to stimulate fat
enzymes that are responsible for
sending storage messages to fat cells
