If all carbohydrates get broken down to their most simple form, sugar, why is it unhealthy to just eat tablespoons of sugar?
In: Biology
What does it mean “unhealthy” exactly? It’s a very vague term. A tablespoon of sugar is just too much sugar to be used immediately by the average human, so most of it becomes stored as fat. If that is what you consider unhealthy, then yes, it’s unhealthy. But if you need the carbohydrates, because you are doing heavy work, then a tablespoon of sugar is “fine”.
