I'm confused. The article states:
Fructose, for example, appears to damage insulin sensitivity and liver function more than other sweeteners with the same number of calories.
but:
(https://foodinsight.org/what-is-fructose/)
Fructose is also known as “fruit sugar” because it primarily occurs naturally in many fruits. It also occurs naturally in other plant foods such as honey, sugar beets, sugar cane and vegetables.
and the article specifically recommends eating more fruit and vegetables.

I would assume that “fructose as a sweetener” means fructose separated from fruits and vegetables and added to other foods, such as adding high fructose corn syrup to cookies.
