HFCS

Is it the actual HFCS or the quantity that is important
in many ailments that are linked to HFCS?

And two unrelated questions, suppose you eat
a banana or cantaloupe or some other piece of
fruit along with a meal. Now fruits typically have
low GIs(due to fiber) but their effect on blood
glucose would be even less than what their
GIs tout, if and only if they are consumed
with other low sugar foods, right? Also, can
the fruits by themselves (if they contain a GI
of < 60 for example) provide enough of an insulin
spike as to enable the uptake of glucose in hopes
of boosting protein synthesis from a post workout?
