don't fear fructose!
as long as you are not consuming excessive calories compared to your energy demands, fructose does not produce harmful effects.
however, excess fructose above your caloric needs does get converted to bacterial endotoxins in the gut which damages multiple organs, specifically the liver
so the most important point in creating health, is balancing energy demands with the beneficial effects of carbohydrates
