I believe people are actually usually talking about sucrose, which breaks down into equal parts fructose and glucose v early in digestion.
- CyberDildonics 6y agoFructose is the monosaccharide and is the problem. It doesn't always come from sucrose.
- SECProto 6y ago> Fructose is the monosaccharide and is the problem Glucose is also a monosaccharide. "sugar" (table sugar, maple syrup, etc) are mainly sucrose, which is one part fructose and one part glucose (joined together, into a disaccharide) I agree that fructose is the troublesome part of this pair. But when people say "sugar", they aren't referring to fructose, they're referring to sucrose.
