Small correction, but that study (and I believe there was only one) indicated that fructose metabolism produced less satiation than glucose, not that it actually prevents it. If you add fructose to a food and eat it, you'll still be more full than if you hadn't added fructose, just less full than if you had added glucose.
I think the reasoning was more like this: "Focus groups show that kids like their applesauce sweeter. What's a cheap sugar?"
