The glucose, like all of the nutrients, soon gets absorbed into the bloodstream creating a peak in what we call «blood sugar levels», which results with the releasing of more insulin from the pancreas in order to push glucose to the cells, basically «commanding» the cells to open up and absorb it, where it gets used as an energy source.

While it's true that complex carbs are better than simple carbs, since they contain longer chains of sugar molecules which take more time for the body to break down and use, resulting with a more even amount of energy and avoiding huge insulin peaks, that doesn't mean that we're free to eat as much of them as we want and expect to maintain optimal health.
