If all carbohydrates get broken down to their most simple form, sugar, why is it unhealthy to just eat tablespoons of sugar?
In: Biology
Precisely because it is too easy for those sugars to be broken down. Your body produces insulin to handle sugars, but if there is too much simple sugar, you have an overabundance of insulin. Pure sugar doesn’t appear much in food naturally. You’re putting huge amounts of something in your body that it has not evolved to handle.
