Best Answer

Fructose is a hexose sugar found especially in honey and fruit. It is what gives fruit its sweet taste. Fructose usually bonds to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose.

Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruits, honey, and some vegetables. It is absorbed directly into the bloodstream and used as a source of energy by the body. Consuming fructose in moderate amounts as part of whole fruits is generally considered healthy, but excessive intake through processed foods and sugary beverages can contribute to health issues like obesity and metabolic disorders.
