Question:
How does a healthy level of blood sugar relate to the consumption of normal sugar in food.?
Why is the consumption of sugar unhealthy?
Answers:
Your blood glucose depends on the balance of two blood hormones.Insulin lowers the level,glucagon raises it.Sugar is a (disaccharide)carbohydrate and is digested to monosaccarides(glucose) before being absorbed.All carbohydrates contain sugars which must be digested to monosaccharides before absorption.These simple sugars in food are combined and linked with other substances in food such as fibre.The total food mix gives the food a glycaemic index which influences the rate of absorption of the glucose.A low GI the food is absorbed more slowly it is better as it avoids rapid swings in the blood sugar and a steady blood sugar and less swings in insulin and glucagon.
