weight-wise sugar has only half of fructose, and fructose is main offender. So yes, too much sugar is bad, but if you compare gram to gram, fructose is worse.

As far as I understood, "high fructose" in HFCS is only high relative to the corn syrup that was hydrolyzed, but not processed with isomerase, i.e. essentially compared to corn syrup with no fructose at all.

Most commonly used HFCS varieties contains 42% or 55% fructose [1], which compares well with 50% in sucrose.
