Cane sugar is sucrose

Yeah, I knew that. I meant sucrose, not glucose. I brain farted and wrote the wrong one.

fructose is a larger more complex molecule

No, it’s the exact same molecular weight, with the exact same elements, C6H12O6, just arranged and bound differently.

And that was me just getting it ass backwards. I was referring to sucrose, not glucose when I was talking about the molecular size. But I was thinking that sucrose was the monosaccharide and fructose was the disaccharide. I had them flipped in my head.
