Carbohydrates: fructose, glucose, sucrose, polysaccharides and others. Played a crucial role in the life of the body and are the most important nutrients. 

Sahara in the juices, are released gradually, which allows us to keep glucose levels stable. This is especially important for people suffering from diabetes. Polysaccharides bind cholesterol in the digestive tract, so it is no longer absorbed in the intestine. 

Insoluble fiber - a kind of hospital gastrointestinal tract. They reduce the time of passage of food through the intestine and help it cleaning. 

Fructose contained in juices, many times sweeter than glucose and sucrose, and much easier to be converted into glycogen - animal carbohydrate, which is required for normal formation and growth of muscles and various organs and systems, and serves as energetic materials, in particular to the liver.
