Does candy cause glucose to go up?
Candy is typically high in sugar, and when you eat sugar, your body breaks it down into glucose. Glucose is a type of sugar that your body uses for energy. When you eat too much candy, your blood sugar levels can spike, which can lead to a number of problems, including:
- Weight gain
- Insulin resistance
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart disease
- Stroke
- Kidney disease
- Vision loss
- Gum disease
- Tooth decay
It's important to moderate your intake of candy and to make sure to brush your teeth twice a day to help keep your teeth healthy.
