Glucose: 3 Research-Backed Side-Effects

Glucose are broken down into sugar in our stomach and then absorbed into the bloodstream.

High glucose levels raise blood sugar level, which can lead to health issues.

Studies have shown that by consuming lots of glucose even healthy people get diabetic-level glucose spikes. Prolonged use can lead to cardiovascular disease risk and insulin resistance, which is a common precursor to diabetes.

In this article, we list claims of potential benefits and/or side-effects of glucose that we have found research on. Every claim is listed with all of its sources. We get these claims from our Nutrition Tool.
