It's hard to say why things are like they are when we're talking about atoms and chemistry. The normal sugar you have in your kitchen is C12H22O11. Other kinds of sugar, like glucose, is C6H12O6. The common thing with all of them is that they have carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and okygen (O). There are very many kinds of sugar, and all of them have the same elements.

I hope that was helpful enough. It's hard to answer your question. There's no real answer to it, but I hope you can understand that it's simply just how it is.
