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.

Sure - but my point isn't that HFCS is bad (though it is), it's that too much sugar in general is bad, and even noshing on things that have no HFCS but instead have tons of not-HFCS sweetener (because goddamn we love our sweet food) will still not help.

Basically over-sweetened processed food - no matter what the sweetener - is bad, and over-focusing on HFCS is bad. :)

(though I'm told that the article also wildly misrepresents the point of the study in the first place, which given the state of science reporting, does not shock me.)
