There's a USDA database at http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search that has sucrose,glucose,fructose content of many foods. Sucrose is a glucose and fructose bonded, so 1 gm sucrose is equivalent to eating 0.5 gm fructose. You can get too much fructose by eating too much fruit. You can see how much fructose you're getting by using the USDA database. Fructose causes insulin resistance, actually they feed a high-fructose diet to rats to cause insulin resistance in order to study it.
