Simple sugars include glucose (dextrose), fructose, lactose (milk sugar) and sucrose (table sugar). Sugar alcohols (e.g. sorbitol), used as sweeteners, are also types of simple sugars.

Simple sugars are glucose and fructose. This is the simple structure preferred by the body. However, ingestion of high doses of simple sugars stimulates a high release of insulin by the pancreas which may have negative effects on fat storage.
