My wife used to make HFCS. Now she makes polymers. Anyway, there's some research going on about the balance between fructose and glucose and that effect on human metabolism.

And really, the soft drink problem is one of concentration -- you'd never find that high a level of sugar in fruit juice, just as you'd never fnd a juice concentration in the whole fruit.

The other problem is that not every food should have sugar added to it, which is what most of the commotion is about.
