Candy and Sugary Desserts Are Associated with Weight Gain

Candy and sugary desserts are associated with weight gain. Why would candy and sugary foods, containing carbohydrates, cause an increase in body fat?

A) Carbohydrates, once broken down into glucose, can be used in lipogenesis and be converted into fats for storage.
B) Glucose is stored as glycogen. When the amount of glycogen exceeds the storage capacity of the liver, it is transported to adipose tissue and adds to the fat stores.
C) Disaccharides like sucrose and lactose can be broken down into monosaccharides and stored in fat cells beneath the skin.
D) "Body fat" refers to the mass storage of excess nutrients in the adipose layer. Anything in excess can be stored there, including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleic acids.
