FYI table sugar is 50% fructose. HFCS is usually 55% fructose. Honey and maple syrup are also ~50% fructose. You cannot escape it unless your only sugar comes from starch & dairy. It should be obvious to everyone that a diet higher in sugar which is energy dense but not very satiating will tend to lead to one eating more and gaining weight. If you want to decrease your appetite, eat more protein. No other macronutrient is as satiating as protein. Reducing your sugar intake is a good tactic for weight loss, but only because it tends to mean you're reducing your overall caloric intake, which is the most important factor by far for losing weight.
