I actually had always figured that excess glucose and fructose would be fairly similar as far as their metabolic effect. This study is fairly surprising in that fructose is quite a bit worse. Perhaps this is why consumption of a lot of starches (usually majorly glucose) are not nearly as bad as these simple sugars. Its not the longer digestion time, but rather the significant reduction in the amount of fructose that becomes available for the starch as compared to sucrose or HFCS.
Is sugar in fruits beneficial? No not really, but the rest of fruit is. The sugar is the same as any other sugar but it's absorption my be mitigated by the presence of insoluble fibers. It's a bit more complex in terms of effects but if you want to consider just the sugar then it's no better than any other sucrose/fructose or which ever other sugar is present in the fruit.

starches ? so I'm a bit stumped is sugar in fruits beneficial? got what starches is complex sugars , longer blockchain :D
