The three most common monosaccharides in one's diet are most likely glucose (both the alpha and beta isomers), galactose, and fructose.
These sugars make up three common diasaccharides: Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose
Maltose (malt sugar) is made from 2 alpha glucoses (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond)
Lactose (milk sugar) is made from galactose and beta glucose (linked via a beta glycosidic bond)
Sucrose (table sugar) is made from alpha glucose and fructose (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond.)

How does sugar help your body?
Sugar receives blame for many health problems, but without it, your body would cease to function properly. Naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in fruit, and lactose, or milk sugar, come from sources that benefit your diet. However, the sugars and syrups added during food processing and preparation, called added sugars, are viewed as a detriment to a healthy diet. Maximizing sugar's benefits requires balancing the healthier and less wholesome sources.
