I subscribed and not even 20 minutes later I found my family.
Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that is easy for your body to break down into glucose. When glucose passes into the bloodstream, your blood sugar rises quickly. To bring levels back to normal, the pancreas releases the hormone insulin, which lowers blood-sugar levels by shuttling glucose out of the bloodstream and into the body's cells. Similar to a car using up its gas, if your body's energy needs are high, the sugar is put to good use by providing energy to your working cells. The problem occurs when you send sugar into your bloodstream too often and your body doesn't need it. The extra sugar supply causes your pancreas to go into overdrive, releasing excessive amounts of insulin to compensate. Excess insulin drives sugar into muscle, fat and liver cells, where it's stored as glycogen (a sugar) for later use. Sadly, we have a limited capacity to store glycogen. When this capacity is breached, the excess sugar is converted to fat for storage. Our fat cells are capable of creating chemical signals that lead to chronic inflammation, especially when you eat too many calories and too much sugar.
