For thousands of years, humans consumed 16-20 grams of ANY sugar per day. While fructose may be a bigger problem than other sugars, I'd say that injesting 85-100g of sugar, per day, is likely a bigger issue.
I will agree that we should limit HFCS, but merely shifting from one sugar to another doesn't help that much except in items that are very rich in sugar calories.
A lot of the "health foods" in the store are choc full of honey and sweetened by fruit and fruit juice and concentrated fruit juice. These are full of fructuse as well.
