I was going to comment on this error as well. Terry is wrong that Sucrose is a mono-saccharide. It is a di-saccharide, check any organic chemistry text. The problem with sugar is that it is joined by an inverted bond that is difficult to break. When the primary enzyme system that breaks this bond

When sucrose is digested, it breaks down to glucose and fructose. No, sucrose is not reduced to fructose. Just the reverse. Sucrose and glucose are what are called mono-saccharides, i.e., simple sugars. Fructose is sometimes called a duo-saccharide, slightly more complex. In the medical world,

Sucrose is glucose plus fructose. Sucrose is the disaccharide, and frutose and glucose are the mono-saccharides. I am not sure where you are getting that information, but it is wrong. See http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Carbohydrates.html for a very good reference on
