You are right, "fructose is like beer without the buzz" is an essential part of Lustig's message, which I had left out of the quick run-through. 50% of sucrose is fructose, but not necessarily sugar (which either comes from beets or sugar cane). So if infant formula has sugar added, it doesn't necessarily mean that there is fructose (corn syrup). But if indeed part of the sugar added is fructose (sugar is widely accepted as a generic term for just about anything, hence the plural "sugars"), then yes infants are being exposed to a toxin that is similar to alcohol.

Breast milk contains lactose, which is 50/50 glucose and galactose, zero fructose. What effects dose it have on newborns to get infant formula with "sugar" added? 50% of that is fructose, which according to Lustig is a toxin very similar to alcohol? When it comes to the liver, isn't it like adding drops of booze to the baby bottle? Missing details of the similarity in metabolism between alcohol and fructose.
