The two types of carbohydrates are simple sugars and complex carbohydrates.
Simple sugars are monosaccharides and disaccharides, meaning the contain one or two sugar units. Simple sugars are broken down quickly by the body and released for quick energy. Examples of simple sugar foods include table sugar, fruit juice and honey.
Complex carbohydrates are polymers formed by the simple sugars,or a lengthy sequence of sugar monomers that are joined together. Their complex structure means that they take longer to breakdown, digest and be absorbed into the body. Complex carbohydrates are often high in fiber. Examples of complex carbohydrates include whole grain products and vegetables.
