Did you read the article? Cane sugar is sucrose. The sucrose molecule gets broken up into a fructose and glucose molecule by the gut. Thus, cane sugar is for all intents and purposes 50% fructose. This is very similar to HFCS, which is 55% fructose.

I'm aware of that; it's the other reason why the HFCS hypothesis is broken. But it's much easier to draw the international comparisons.
