I finished watching this video today. It is quite the information overload, especially English not being my native language and all, but I liked it very much. At the moment I am also reading ´The sugar fix´ by Richard Johnson and many of the topics are the same I have found. But some things are also a bit contradictory it seems, or maybe I don´t understand correctly. Lustig seems to suggest that insulin levels rise more with the use of fructose than with the use of glucose, while Johnson seems to write a lot about fructose not triggering insulin enough to release enough leptin and turn down ghrelin enough. It is complicated!

buddhasbelly-
I think both things happen. Immediately after ingestion, fructose does not cause insulin to rise and is technically low-glycemic. However, eating too much fructose over a period of time will cause insulin resistance, and this will keep circulating insulin levels high all the time. At least, this is how I understand it.
