Detailed explanation-1: -Simple carbohydrates – those with one or two sugar units – are also simply known as sugars. Examples are: Glucose and fructose: monosaccharides that can be found in fruits, vegetables, honey, but also in food products like glucose-fructose syrups.

Detailed explanation-2: -What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are found in a wide array of both healthy and unhealthy foods-bread, beans, milk, popcorn, potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft drinks, corn, and cherry pie. They also come in a variety of forms. The most common and abundant forms are sugars, fibers, and starches.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you eat or drink foods that have carbohydrate-also known as carbs-your body breaks those carbs down into glucose (a type of sugar), which then raises the level of glucose in your blood. Your body uses that glucose for fuel to keep you going throughout the day.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glucose monosaccharides (not as part of starch) are also found naturally in some foods. The most concentrated whole food source of glucose monosaccharides is honey, followed by dried fruits such as dates, apricots, raisins, currants, cranberries, prunes and figs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Examples of common names are table sugar, brown sugar, molasses, honey, beet sugar, cane sugar, confectioner’s sugar, powdered sugar, raw sugar, turbinado, maple syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, agave nectar and sugar cane syrup.
