also a lot of people won't acknowledge that as far as damage that sugar is likely just as bad as HFCS. both should be heavily reduced

  I believe sucrose and fructose are processed differently — specifically fructose is processed by the liver so can have the same issues as alcohol there.

    Sucrose is 50% fructose. HFCS is typically 42-55% fructose. They are essentially indistinguishable to your liver.

        Sucrose is a disaccharide made up of 50% glucose and 50% fructose.

        Of course, and the human body is full of enzymes that exist to cleave saccharides into their constituent sugars.
