What happens to your body when you eat to much sugary foods?

You get Diabetes eventually.---------------------------------------------------------------While eating too many sugary foods can lead to diabetes, it is not always the case. When you eat too many sugary foods your body releases a hormone called insulin from your pancreas into your bloodstream. Insulin absorbs suagr from the blood to enable you to use it for energy rather than store it as fat but when you eat too much suagr you build up a resistence to insulin and it loses its power to convert sugar to energy. Eating too many sugary foods will, most often, result in weight gain, Other times it can lead to low magnesium levels (needed for blood circulation), water retention, high blood pressure and possibly even Heart disease. - Laurynm
