I'm a little bit of a 'all things in moderation' guy, so I enjoy some fruit or cake or whatever, when I want it.

Fructose preferentially fills liver glycogen before it fills muscle glycogen. That's why they do it. Which is valid, up to a point. If you're overindulging on fructose as well as glucose, the excess fructose will definitely turn to fat. However, if you're below what your muscles need to refill muscle glycogen by not eating enough simple carbs (glucose), then the excess fructose can refill muscle glycogen. If not . . . fat production.
