Glucose does not get changed to fructose. Fructose is a sugar mainly found in fruits. It is a simple sugar, like glucose, but is unusable by the body. When ingested, it is broken down by enzymes in the mouth, stomach, and intestines its carbon bonds and convert it to glucose, which is the body's main fuel.
