Simple carbohydrates are monosaccharides, among which include glucose and fructose, sweeteners responsible for sweet taste of many fruits.

This kind of simple sugars are dangerous because of their innocuous appearance, in many cases, no one would think that getting fat when you eat fruit and yet, it is fatter.

Glucose and fructose are simple sugars and are present in fruits, vegetables and honey. They are the least bad, but be careful with them.

Combined two simple sugars are disaccharides. For example, table sugar or sucrose is a combination of glucose and fructose that occurs naturally in fruits or vegetables like beets and sugarcane, besides other fruits.

Lactose, in turn, is the main sugar in milk and milk products, while maltose is a disaccharide of the malt.

In short: sugar, honey, maple syrup, jams, jellies and candies are pure sugar and simple carbohydrates easily absorbed.

Other foods such as dairy products, some fruits and some vegetables, are also simple sugars, but spread over a larger amount of water.

Industrial products prepared from refined sugars as well as having a high calorific and low nutritional value, are treated and quickly absorbed sugars, however, very difficult to remove, so its use should be very moderate and as an exception healthy eating. You can only eat an occasional whim.

60% of the monosaccharides are metabolized but others are converted into lipids then move to the adipose tissue.
