Glucose, sucrose, fructose

Posted by NKP on August 20, 2011, at 4:02:26

What exactly is the difference between glucose, sucrose, and fructose?

Which is the healthiest or least healthy overall?

I tried to understand this myself but it is all quite complicated.

Are any of them healthy?

I come from a bodybuilding background (somewhat not one of the "juice heads") and all i can say is the last two are gonna make u look awfully bloated.

Why do you want to supplement any of these?

This is not to say you shouldn't eat fruit or drink a glass of milk if you can tolerate it. But excess fructose or lactose are going to make you bloat. Speaking of water retention.

The difference it how the cell absorbs them. sucrose passes throught the cell membrane I forgot the mecanism, osmosis? Frutose uses actice transport, it can only path thought the cell wall at cetain spots, it's a lock and key mechanism. Frutose takes longer for cells to absorb then sucrose. glucose I don't remember. This is from biology 28 years ago.
