What part of your body digest corn syrup into energy
A
small intestant
B
large intestant
C
stomach
D
metabolism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your liver metabolizes high fructose corn syrup. But it becomes overwhelmed by the high amounts of fructose. So your liver starts to convert high fructose corn syrup into fat. Fat then accumulates in the liver, which makes its job to metabolize fructose even harder.

Detailed explanation-2: -However, high fructose corn syrup isn’t the same as eating a corn on the cob from your own backyard veggie patch. It is a controversial ingredient which is used as a liquid sugar substitute. It is digested by the body the same way as sugar.

Detailed explanation-3: -(Sucrose, or table sugar, is a combination of fructose and glucose.) What makes fructose more harmful is the way the body metabolizes it. Unlike glucose, which is used by cells as an energy source, fructose is metabolized by the liver, where it promotes the synthesis of fat.

Detailed explanation-4: -Corn syrup is primarily made up of a sugar called glucose, which can be burned up as a source of immediate energy, stored in your liver and muscles for use later, or, as a last resort, turned into fat.
