If you watch the video linked in the parent post, it claims/explains that doing the same with fructose would not be equivalent.

If you carefully read my post, where I emphasize that you restrict yourself to 250kcal of either, I think you'll find that we're all in agreement.
The video explains why fructose drives you to eat more (namely, it doesn't fulfill the hormonal role that glucose does). It also states that fructose is more likely to form advanced glycation endproducts, but this is far less important than the hormonal differences.
So from all practical viewpoints, I agree with you. Fructose is way worse! From the most limited perspective (basically, lock someone up and feed them 250kcal of glucose vs 250kcal fructose and don't let them have additional food), they will be very similar.
