What happens to food after you eat it is extremely complicated (taking up most or all of a semester in a university biochemistry course). I'll try not to get too scientific here. I CAN tell you that the main way your body is powered is via aerobic respiration which, through a complicated process, takes glucose (sugar) and oxygen and turns them into energy (ATP), water, and carbon dioxide (this is why we need to breathe in oxygen and breathe out CO2). Your body can take building blocks from any type of food and use it to make glucose (this happens in the liver), so in a way, the answer to your question is yes. However, unless you are on the Atkins diet or have not had a meal in a day or so, probably most of the glucose in your body comes from carbohydrates in your diet. Your body can take any carbohydrate and break it down more or less directly to glucose. Proteins and fats, on the other hand, must be broken down and then rebuilt into glucose (it is "easier" for your body to use carbs for energy). Plus, your body's cells are constantly growing and dividing and producing hormones, etc., and they need amino acids and fatty acids to do so. Thus the proteins and fats you eat are more likely to be broken down and used for these purposes. These are more or less the theories behind high-protein, low-carb diets. When your body is carb-depleted, it is forced to use fat and protein for energy. This may cause you to lose weight, but is not the way your body is meant to work and thus can be dangerous. It can lead to a condition called ketosis (which can cause nausea, dehydration, headaches, light-headedness, irritability, bad breath, and kidney problems), and also causes loss of muscle mass. Plus, the high fat and cholesterol content and low-fiber content of these diets can lead to heart and digestive problems. I know that is probably more than you wanted to know but it seems like most people, when asking questions such as this, would be wondering about the implications of different diets.

Answer Yes, bread can turn to sugar and it can also turn into fat. Here's how it works: all foods are made of protein, fat or carbohydrates. Bread and sugar are both carbohydrates except that the structure of sugar is very simple and the structure of bread is very complex. When we eat sugar, the stomach sends it to our bodies either to store as fat or to be used as energy. When we eat bread, the stomach must break its complex structure into smaller pieces, so small that it becomes the same simple structure as sugar. The advantage of complex carbohydrates like bread is that the sugar enters the body slowly as the stomach breaks it into smaller structures. When we eat sugar, it all gets dumped into the bloodstream and does not sustain energy.

No, freezing bread will not make it turn to sugar. Freezing bread is simply to preserve and keep it fresh until you are ready to eat it. Once thawed, it's the same as it was before being frozen.

No bread is completely free of carbohydrates, so there is no bread that does not turn to sugar at least in part.

Wheat bread contains fairly complex carbohydrates: mostly starch. This can be easily broken to simple carbohydrates or sugars by various enzymes, like the enzymes in saliva.

What effect does a high sugar content have on the texture of cake?

sugar makes the cake a sweet savory taste, and makes the texture feel bumpy, and helps the product turn brown. the sugar bonds with the yeast and makes bubbles forming carbon dioxide and then making bubbles and that's why when you cut your bread their are holes in it, the leftover carbon dioxide. If you want to know if the bread that you are eating really has sugar you just have to cut it and see if their a holes in the bread, and if it does you know that "wow my bread really does have sugar!", but if your bread doesn't have any bubbles then you can say '' well if the bread doesn't have sugar, I'm out of here!"
