It's a matter of volume at that point. Yes, all the sugar and honey and agave nectar and what-all people use have fructose in them. There isn't a fruit going that doesn't have it. However, you then add in the volume of HFCS that's in everything from soda and juices to bread and cereal that people are also consuming in mass quantity, and you've got a seriously high volume of fructose in the system at all times. Then you take that volume and put in the system of someone who develops cancer. And all the while they're pumping them full of chemicals and radiation to try and kill something that the majority of their diet is feeding the hell out of, and wondering why the thing just won't die.

To me, it's just another on the ever growing list of reasons to get this crap out of the food supply.
