GPrime is a murderer. Being this spicy should be illegal.

Grapes are full of fructose (fruit sugar). Are they bad for you too?
Concentrated fructose is different than fruit sugar naturally occurring along with plant fibers that may also contain prebiotic qualities that help slow down the absorption of sugars. HFCS is a genetically modified industrial product that is sweeter than standard fructose and thus has a higher impact on the body. Any excess amount of fructose intake is not good; even without HFCS, you can still cause problems by consuming too much fruit juice.
I'm not a biologist or a scientist so my knowledge of this topic is somewhat limited -- I only have what I learned by working in the foodservice and food retail industry and doing my own light research on the topic.
Fructose is a simple chemical compound. The fructose in corn syrup is identical to the fructose in fruit, so it is exactly the same sweetness. Fructose is sweeter than regular sugar. That's the purpose of the corn syrup conversion, to use less product and save a little money.
Perhaps drinking a whole bottle of Karo syrup might not be good for you.
The real problem is that people are buying a lot of things that sneak in sugar to make you want them more. Even peanut butter has sugar in it. Look at a jar of Jif. The #2 ingredient is sugar.
People just need to read labels carefully and make their own choices.
