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.

Examples of complex carbohydrates include whole grain products and vegetables.
