I've spent a little bit of time looking into it this morning and I can't seem to get a straight answer. How is fructose as an added sugar different than the naturally occurring fructose in fruit?

Soft drinks (and many commercial fruit juices for that matter) contain a lot more fructose per serving compared to fresh fruit. That's the main difference. For instance, a can of carbonated soft drink contains the equivalent of something like 12-16 teaspoons of table sugar (table sugar is sucrose, which is 50:50 fructose and glucose). The manufacturers of soft drinks switched from sucrose to high fructose corn syrup years ago, because it's cheaper. Hi, Nick.
