Sucrose is the most common sugar, found in many plants. This is the sugar that is extracted from plants like sugar cane and used as a sweetener. Fructose is found in honey and in fruit and is also used as a preservative. Glucose is the sugar we need for our energy and it is found in plant and animal tissue. They are all quite similar and there is a small quantity of one of these three in most foods. You need not worry about how much sugar you take in as long as you have a healthy diet and do not eat many fats and oils (like sweets and cakes which are high in fat and sugar). You will be fine because the sugar will take care of its self, provided you eat well. You do not need to avoid any of them but I don't suggest going out to take any of these in pure form on their own. Take enough in your meals to give you energy for the day but not much more
