I've heard this claim often, and I appreciate your pointing out that sucrose is hardly better than HCFS.
What evidence is there for human health being improved by avoiding fructose (on the margin, not absolutely)? Isn't it pretty weak? There are plenty of high-dose rat studies, but I don't typically adjust my lifestyle every time a rat study shows something.
There are human studies as well on fructose showing that it causes problems, one of which is obesity (but other problems like liver scarring are more serious). I am not going to include citations but if you go to ScienceDaily news and search on fructose you will find the latest research.
