Basically over-sweetened processed food - no matter what the sweetener - is bad...
Too much of anything is bad. I reference HFCS here mainly because a.) it's the most prevalent source of fructose in our diets, and b.) by it's very nature, it is a higher source of fructose that others, hence it's name. (I have a few other gripes about it, too, in that I hate eating food that has been genetically tampered with, and corn is one of the worst for that. Having it in my english muffins makes me cranky. ;) )
The state of science reporting also makes me cranky. I'm seeing if I can find the actual study and read it for myself, but figured it's also one of those things that it's potentially handy for people to at least look into.
