As separate monosaccharides, or one-molecule sugars, glucose and fructose are free for absorption. Both sugars cross the intestinal lining through distinct complex transporters into the bloodstream of the hepatic portal system. This special system of veins is one of only three in the entire body that does not return blood directly to the heart. Instead, this system carries its blood that contains all absorbed nutrients to the liver for further processing.
