Can you actually still get cane sugar in anything anymore?

Sweet tea (here in the South). I drink far too much of it, but at least it doesn't contain corn syrup. For some reason, that is supposed to be worse for the body than cane sugar.

In the US, unless it specificly says "Cane Sugar" on the package it is probably beet sugar. They're both sucrose.

Glucose and Fructose (fruit sugar) are monosaccharides. They have the same chemical formula (C₆H₁₂O₆) but different shapes.

Two monosaccharides combine to form a disaccharide and a water molecule is released. For example, one glucose and one fructose combine to form one sucrose (table sugar). Other disaccharides are lactose(milk sugar) and maltose(precursor to beer).
