I saw that article as well and drinks with corn syrup in them doesn't surprise me, but fruit juices did. We have 100% juices in our fridge and don't consume alot, but it certainly caused me to pause, especially since my primary care Dr. says I'm pre-diabetic. Cookies and ice cream are becoming rarer in our house.
Since fruit juices are included, would eating fruits, maybe in excess, also be a problem. Three pieces of fruit squeezed would likely make for at least 8 oz of juice. We are told constantly to eat more fruit and veggies and to cut back on meats, dairy and starches, it's hard to keep up.
I certainly believe that sugar in general is a problem and it's hard to avoid them, especially in processed food. They are hidden everywhere. Reading the ingredient label before purchasing can help making dietary decisions.
I rarely drink soda, but I need to dig a little deeper to keep sugar to a minimum in my diet :-S
