If the human body makes good sugar which is glucose why don't people just put that in foods instead of bad sugar?
Glucose is the fuel for our cells, but it is not really good for eating straight. Our bodies are designed to get glucose from from natural foods such as fruits vegetables, grains and even fat. Our metabolism creates glucose from these raw materials gradually when we need it. If you eat glucose, you are dumping it straight into your blood at once which can cause massive swings in your blood sugar levels. This may bring about emotional disturbances, hyperactivity, obesity and eventually type 2 Diabetes. Eating natural whole foods gives you a stable blood sugar level which is ideal for good health. The only time it is good to eat/drink glucose is if you are in urgent need of sugar, eg after prolonged exercise, if weak from diarhoea and vomiting, or a diabetic going into insulin shock.
If you want to use labels like "good sugar" then I'd say glucose is a "bad sugar" because it is not being measured out by our metabolism. Sucrose (table sugar) is half bad because in the mouth it splits quickly into glucose and fructose. The fructose might be called the "good sugar" because it has to be coverted into glycogen and stored thereby avoiding the dumping effect. However fructose in large quantities is not good for you because it causes some damage to your body before being converted to glycogen.
What is good for you is to eat whole natural foods and avoid dumping lots of sugar into your body at once.

Why doesn't soluble fiber convert to glucose?
Soluble fiber cannot be broken down by the human digestive system's enzymes to convert it into glucose because its chemical structure is resistant to these enzymes. Instead, soluble fiber moves through the digestive tract intact and helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar from other foods.
What is the Carrier of glucose in the human bodies?
The primary carrier of glucose in the human body is insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin facilitates the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells, particularly in muscle and adipose (fat) tissues, where it is used for energy or stored as glycogen. Additionally, glucose transport proteins, such as GLUT1 and GLUT4, help transport glucose across cell membranes.
What is starch is converted into in human body?
Starch is converted into glucose in the human body through the process of digestion. Glucose is then absorbed into the bloodstream and used as a primary source of energy for cells. Any excess glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen for later use.
What happens to glucose during respiration in the human body?
Glucose gets converted into CO2 and H2O, by producing a large number ATP molecules.
What organ in the human body is most responsible for regulating blood glucose areas?
Liver,Pancrease and Kidneys are very important in glucose regulation.
Why glucose is injected in human bodies to supply energy instead of sucrose?
because glucose is simpler than sucrose.
What percentage of carbohydrates can be converted into glucose in the human body?
Once digested, 100% of carbohydrates are converted to glucose. However, approximately 40% of protein foods are also converted to glucose, but this has minimal effect on blood glucose levels.
Do starchy foods provide energy?
Yes. The starch molecule is a string of glucose molecules. When eaten, the starch is broken down by enzymes into individual glucose molecules. Glucose is the human body's primary source of energy.
Why doesn't soluble fiber convert to glucose?
Soluble fiber cannot be broken down by the human digestive system's enzymes to convert it into glucose because its chemical structure is resistant to these enzymes. Instead, soluble fiber moves through the digestive tract intact and helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the absorption of sugar from other foods.
How fermentation microorganisms produces human foods?
cause the mouth of the people are too big.
Does the human diet have many foods which are made up of only one saccharide type?
monosaccharide - glucose, fructose, disaccharides - maltose, lactose, sucrose polysaccherides - starch, cellulose.
How human body deal with excess glucose?
The human body deals with excess glucose by turning it into glycogen, fatty acids, triglycerides, or energy.
What kind of foods do people eat in South Carolina?
They eat normal food. They are a part of the human race too!
Can pig eat human foods?
Pigs can sometimes eat human food, guinea pigs can eat more human foods than pigs.
What breaks down sugar in the Human Body?

Where is glucose oxidised to generate enerygy?
in human cells
What is biochemical importance of glucose in human body?
