Answer:

sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

Sugar is chemically sucrose which is one part sucrose and one part fructose.

when one eats sugar, the enzyme in small intestine works on it and separate sugar into its component parts which is absorbed in bloodstream.

This increases blood sugar level and insulin is released from pancreas. insulin send glucose from blood to cell where it is used for energy.

if there is excess sugar, it is stored as body fatty liver. it also increases triglycerides.

excess sugar can cause type 2 diabetes because of the effect fructose has on the liver, like increasing fatty liver and localized insulin resistance.
