Regulation of Blood Glucose and Health Effects of Sugars and Alternative Sweeteners, Cheat Sheet of Nutrition

University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley Nutrition

The role of insulin and glucagon in regulating blood glucose levels, and the health effects of consuming sugars and alternative sweeteners. Insulin facilitates glucose uptake by muscles and adipose tissue and stimulates glycogen synthesis in the liver, while glucagon breaks down glycogen into glucose molecules when blood sugar is too low. The document also explores the correlation between increased consumption of added sugars and obesity, heart disease, nutrient deficiencies, and dental caries.
