Thanks for the lead Dogman. Here's an article by Taubes on Lustig I
found (long). He suggests, among other things, that there is no
difference in the toxicity between HFCS and sucrose due to the fructose
component,

Since sugar (sucrose) is ~ 50% fructose...

but that starches are actually OK due to their lack of
fructose. Still, I'm not about to go eat a potato!

I think this is where it depends on the individual. Some people can
eat starches and do okay, others can't.

Generally, though, I think most people should restrict their starch
consumption, especially if they don't exercise regularly.
