There are table sugar, milk sugars(Galactose, Lactose, maltose), candy sugars (alcohol sugars), fruit sugar (fructose). Sugars are the bodies favorite food unit. Assuming you mean Sucrose, table sugar. When sugar is broken down in the stomach into its basic components fructose and glucose, these are transported across the intestinal membrabnes into the blood stream. Both fructose and glucose are transported across body cell membranes and react to form ATP energy in the Cyclic Acid Metabolic system. Glucose to the liver is stored as glycogen; when the liver stores are full, the excess is converted to fat and stored in adipose tissue(the belly, that double chin, or love handles, etc).

What are the health benefits of monosaccharides?
First, monosaccharides consist of glucose, fructose, and galactose. These are the most simple sugars that exist. The benefit of these sugars is that the body does not need to break down the sugar to use them. Therefore, the sugars go into the blood stream more quickly and gives energy more quickly and increases blood sugar quickly.
