Understandable why the original article [1] was not posted up as it no doubt would have annoyed some people. The source article however one needed to enter book reader mode quickly - which unfortunately it only included the references, otherwise it redirects to an epdf which will not load with my standard pdf viewers. [Downloaded file is readable between the syntax though]
Not that fructose in moderate amounts is an issue, typically the issue is the added sugar in items which might be otherwise consumed to excess, regardless of HFCS or regular table sugar sucrose. While media might be banging on about too much sugar in softdrink, they are slow to mention there's some fruit drinks (the <40% actual fruit juice) on the market with have 10% by weight in sugars. Sugars are good for helping preserve foods, but I've no idea if the 10% is there as a necessity or simply to sooth the taste buds.
I look forward to a day when one of the softdrink companies market a product where the bulk of excess sugar is dextrose / glucose. Last couple years I've been buying dextrose by the 25 Kg bag (approx 55 lbs) for all my sugar needs. On the fifth bag I think.
