No, whey protein does not convert to sugar in the body.
Carbohydrates typically convert into sugar in the body within 15-30 minutes after consumption.
Carbohydrates typically convert into sugar in the body within 15-30 minutes after consumption.
Carbohydrates are acted on by enzymes in the body to convert them to sugar so the body can use them as fuel.
Most food has sugar in it... it doesn't matter if you add sugar or not. It's going to be there. 2nd answer: Your brain runs on nothing but sugar of a particular type. And the answer above is right, the sugar will be there. If it were not, then it turns out that your body is able to convert starches into sugar. Your body will do anything it can to provide nourishment to the brain, otherwise it dies, and you die.
Sugar and other carbohydrates are converted into the simple sugar Glucose, which is then transported throughout the body as fuel. If there is an excess of Glucose beyond the body's needs, enzymes convert it into lipid compounds which are then stored in "fat cells" called adipocytes.
hmm i don't think animals including humans can produce sugar, that's the purpose of plants. plants convert CO2 and water into sugar (glucose), which we eat, store in our body and chemically convert it into ATP energy. =\ unless mean something else like diabetes.
When the body needs energy, it can convert fat into sugar through a process called gluconeogenesis. This occurs in the liver, where fat molecules are broken down into smaller components that can be used to make glucose, the body's primary source of energy.
Diabetes is the inability of the body to remove sugar from the blood stream and convert it to a substance that can be stored in cells. The accumulation of sugar is what starts causing all the problems of diabetes. The conversion of sugar is done with the help of insulin which is created in part of the pancreas. People who don't generate sufficient insulin will have an accumulation of sugar in the blood. They have to reduce or eliminate the intake of sugar or they can obtain and inject insulin into their body to accomplish the job. Another version of diabetes is a result of insulin resistance. The body does generate insulin but the body is unable to use it to convert the sugar in the blood. No amount of insulin injection can help with this.
Insulin allows glucose(sugar) to enter the body's cells. Insulin also stimulates the liver to convert glucose to glycogen and store it for later use. The end effect is blood sugar is decreased.
To convert sugar grams to kilojoules, you can use the conversion factor that 1 gram of sugar is equal to approximately 17 kilojoules. Multiply the number of sugar grams by 17 to get the equivalent amount in kilojoules. This conversion is based on the average energy content of sugar.
There are about 65 calories in one shot of Southern Comfort.
