Where does glucose enter the body?

Answer 1

Our bodies are designed to get glucose from from natural foods such as fruits vegetables, grains and even fat. Our metabolism creates the glucose gradually from those raw materials when we need it. You can eat glusose, of course, but dumping glucose straight into your body can cause massive swings in your blood sugar levels. This may bring about emotional disturbances, hyperactivity, obesity and eventually type 2 Diabetes. Eating natural whole foods gives you a stable blood sugar level which is ideal for good health. The only time it is good to eat/drink glucose is if you are in urgent need of sugar, eg after prolonged hard exercise, if very weak from diarhoea and vomiting, or a diabetic going into insulin shock.
