I do subscribe to the idea of limiting the amount of added sugars in our foods and watching the amount of empty Calorie foods we eat.

You can't tell me that I can replace white sugar with other sugars and be significantly healthier.
I do buy it, because of the fiber, which slows the absorption of sugar and the resulting shock on the pancreas. Whole fruit wins over fruit juice for the same reason. White flour and sugar, particularly sugary soda pop, is indeed a big part of the problem.
