[QUOTE="Mr_Pot, post: 1987486, member: 216415"] I am one of those people, at least I am until I have been convinced otherwise by scientific explanations, not vague notions of overflow. Cells in the body cannot absorb glucose as such, as it is water soluble and osmotic pressure would cause the cell to absorb water and rupture. Cells therefore store glucose in the form of glycogen which is not water soluble. Glycogen stores are finite and store approximately 400grams of glucose in the skeletal muscles and 100g in the liver of a 70Kg person. When the glycogen stores are full glucose is stored as fat. I have not seen any suggestion that the body can accumulate glucose elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
