HMMMMMM... A study sponsored by PepsiCo finds that fructose might be more harmful than glucose; and a PepsiCo official is quoted in the article as saying something to the effect of "Of course this study has no bearing on Pepsi because WE DON'T USE FRUCTOSE IN PEPSI." In grad school I was taught to raise an eyebrow when reading findings like this.

actually if you read the article, the scientists are concerned about fructose as an additive (either pure or in HFCS) NOT about excessive consumption of fresh fruit. The headline is misleading. But then its the Daily Mail.
Fruit contains fructose the excessive consumption of which is linked to diabetes. There are a few fruits with lower levels of fructose: peaches, cantaloupes, nectarines & apricots.

15%--- eh. A girl who exercises can get to that range. That's not especially lean & fit for a man. He should strive to get to a few % lower. Looking back at the OP he doesn't seem to eat enough animal protein to support all that exercise. Jmo.

fruit also contains dietary fiber, which is beneficial to diabetics, and in preventing diabetes. More importantly, fresh fruit is much healthier (including for diabetics) than a range of other foods. Of course it should not be consumed in excess - I just think you can go over one serving a day without hitting "excess".

Meat contains protein the excessive consumption of which is linked to liver disease.
Water contains h20 the excessive consumption of which is linked to kidney toxicity.
Green leafy vegetables contain fiber the excessive consumption of which is linked to gastric shutdown.
Everything contains things, the excess of which lead to illness. That's why it's called excess.

A girl who exercises A LOT can get to that range - think college athlete. Very few woman get that low (even a fair number of college athletes would test higher). Sure under 10% is ideal for a younger male, but the OP is 36. The amount of exercise and level of diet control needed for him to achieve much lower than 15% is going to be pretty substantial. It's possible, but may be more than he is willing to or has time to do.
it's does not matter until you feel good. if you think you are over weighted then there is need to lose weight until forget about this. but if you want then check out some simple tips and suggestion in yourhelathorbit.com
If you are senstive to sugar, as I am, fruit can definately make you fat (as can root vegetables) as they contains sugar, I can only have 2 servings of non sweet fruits a day and must avoid root vegetable altogether :-(. Everyone is different.
I'm sensitive to sugar as well. I gained weight because I ate an excess of calories, not because I ate fruits and starches.
