How is sugar deadly? At least it's better than HFCS.

Chlorine is.
Plain sugar is deadly because it's 50% fructose (see video).

Isn't there fructose in damn near every fruit, berry, and honey?

Well, if there is one thing for certain, we're all going to die.
Dammit.

Basically, the take-away from the video is that fructose is essentially alcohol...only worse; alcohol is 90% metabolized in the liver, and 10% in the brain...fructose is metabolized 100% in the liver...it's even worse for your liver than moonshine, and you don't even get a fucking buzz!

There is nothing wrong with Fructose. It is what makes up most fruit. I didn't listen to the video because it's too long, but I would assume cancer cells can feed on glucose just fine.

Well, the video explains it, replete with actual chemical analysis (although, I'm certain it's over your head, 101...so you're excused from watching it, ok?).
It's a liver toxin, plain and simple...the facts are there in the video, if anyone cares to do a fact-check. All of the metabolic processes are spelled out, in a manner MOST laypeople can understand. While it's longer than 101's attention span, and beyond his ken, it should be fine for anyone else, and I highly recommend it.
