But several factors play into how much you ingest.
If you ingest a ton of pure sugar with salt then some of the surage will never be absorbed. Salt adn sugar stay in bablance at the itnersection of the liing of the stomach. That's what uoi makes you sicj when you cna't ingest them all
By a process called osmosis whereby the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) in the tract absorb the glucose cells. Its all down to the pancreas and liver to monitor the blood sugar levels,turning stored glycogen into glucose to raise the blood sugar levels using insulin. Hope that helps!
