Sugar - here - covers more than just sucrose, especially when one of the more commonly used (and controversial) sweeteners is fructose, a monosaccharide.
Also, normal people (entirely correctly) call table sugar a carbohydrate. Why nerd snipe?
- whiddershins 4y agoIt’s not a nerd snipe. Some people or possibly all people digest monosaccharides and disaccharides differently. Also, that might be a distinction without a difference in most cases, but sucrose and fructose also may not produce identical glycemic response to simple carbohydrates. The point is this is a very complex topic, and some of it is at the edge of what humans know about nutrition.
