Added sugars are simple carbohydrates.

Added sugars (honey, candies, syrups, refined sugar, refined breakfast cereals) provide calories, but not vitamins, minerals and fiber, that is why they called them empty calories.

Foods that contain high amounts added sugars may raise triglyceride and glucose levels, which may long-term increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Added sugars sharply increase blood glucose and just as sharply after a short period of time they drop it to levels lower than they were before we consumed them. That is, the temporary increase in our energy immediately after we consume them is followed by a sharp decrease in our energy a little later.

It is better to consume such foods after a main meal (lunch or dinner), to help the body not to increase its blood sugar levels so much since our main meal contains fibrous vegetables and proteins OR 20 to 30 minutes before the main meal to prevent the decrease of energy because the main meal coming soon.
