instead of storing excess sugar, making us fat, why can't we poop it out?

Question

well?

Answer 1

The main reason why we have so much fats is because the small intestine absorbs glucose at an uncontrollable amount. The walls would always allow these molecules with or without the presence of water to be passed through and then sent to all parts of the body.

Remember that our feces needs to pass through the large intestine as well and since the glucose never reaches the large intestine and may probably be absorbed along the way as well, we are unabe to poop it out.

Answer 2

For such an ability (to poop out sugar) to evolve, there must be a selection pressure for it: many humans (or ancestors of humans) must die early or fail to reproduce because of overweight. Such a selection pressure probably has existed: however, a more effective solution to the problem is to stop being hungry when the fat deposits get filled up. In fact that is what happens to most people.

Also, during most of human history, being fat meant higher energy expenditure because it takes more energy to escape from a hungry sable tiger if you're fat than if you're meager. Therefore, fatness regulated itself as fat people had tu burn more energy. Today, it's the reverse: fat people are less outgoing than meager so they burn less energy, and thus get even fatter.

In short, the conditions that cause obesity (excess food, no need to exercise) are so new that we haven't adapted to them.

Answer 3

Its an excellent idea for a pharmaceutical company. I'm sure that if you find such a drug that helps you get rid of excess sugar (or calories in general), you can become a billionaire living off the excesses of excess eaters!

Answer 4

Because the energy contained in food is called carbohydrates and this is an essential form of energy that all of our bodies need in order to run efficently. Many carbohydrates contain sugars so that when you consume them they are taken and stored in your bloodstream because your body is not smart enough to know exactly everything that should and should not be going inside and outside of your body.
