The body works to maintain a certain level of blood sugar
(glucose) in the blood at all times.Sugary foods and soft

As blood sugar levels rise,the pancreas releases the hormone
insulin,which works to remove the sugar from the blood into
the body's cells.

Once sugar leaves the blood it will either be used straight
away to glycogen for late use as a source of energy,or
stored as fat.

need to use it to provide energy and more of the sugar
is converted into fat.
