    Processed sugars

    If you could either name a process, a sugar that's processed, or anything specific that would help me understand what you're talking about.

    Added sugar. Comes in various names, including everything ending in "ose". Ex. fructose.

    ........

    Is this a joke?

    Please splain :-)

    Sugars are simple carbohydrates, starches are complex cabohydrates.

    Simple refers to having 1 or 2 (only) saccharide molecule groups, whereas starch has a long chain of glucose molecules like a polymer. The presence of fiber, or the colour brown, is not part of the definition.

    Fructose is added to fruit? I could have sworn it comes pre-installed. :embarassed:

    Except if bees do the processing (I imagine).
