Fructose is found in many processed foods and beverages
There are putative mechanisms for Insulin resistance, induced by fructose
eg https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/9/3/230 see diagram from article
Its association with complications of insulin resistance, eg NAFLD [fatty liver] and the potential magnitude of its health effect on populations should point us to regulating its usage.
Should we be doing more to control the use of fructose: is there enough evidence?
There are existing data on the metabolic and endocrine effects of dietary fructose that suggest that increased consumption of fructose may be detrimental in terms of body weight and adiposity and the metabolic indexes associated with the insulin resistance syndrome,

Fructose is processed in ways very similar to alcohol.
Here's an easy to follow comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_4Q9Iv7_Ao
The attached image (from that video) shows how hepatic mitochondria overload leads to intrahepatic lipid accumulation, which, in particular if chronic, impairs IRS-1 function, i.e. hepatic insulin resistance.
