They were probably talking ratio, not total amount.

> Most fruits are really not that high in fructose, compared to stuff like high-fructose corn syrup

An apple is going to have like 19g of sugar. So a little over 12g of fructose. A serving of Buffalo Wild Wings Asian Zing sauce (2tbs) has 19g of sugar. I don't know what variety of HFCS, so we'll assume HFCS 55. That's 10.45g fructose.

So an apple has more fructose (total) than a few buffalo wings with HFCS-based sauce.
