True or False: Your body's main source of energy is glucose, a type of sugar
2/12/2010
TRUE
Your body gets sugar from 2 major sources:
1) The foods that you eat, and
2) The sugar that your liver makes when you have not eaten food
It is important to balance the level of sugar in our body. Your body helps to do this by releasing insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas. Insuling moves the sugar from your blood into your cells to use for energy.
