Fructose leads to visceral fat, not subcutaneous fat. Excess visceral fat leads to metabolism disease including obesity, type II diabetes, heart disease. Liver cells will start to die
After sugar gets into the body, it splits into two parts, fructose and glucose, both of them make their to the liver. Once in the liver, glucose is delt with efficiently either as immediate energy, or store up later like batteries. But the fructose is different. The liver doesn't have a system to regulate the fructose, so fructose gets into the bloodstream no matter we need it or not. If all our spare batteries are full, fructose rapidly turn into fat. Some of that fat will stay in the liver, and you will have increase risk of insulin resistance and diabetes. The fat in the liver will be sent out into the bloodstream as triglycerides, causing obesity, blocked blood vessels, heart disease.
On the other hand, bread and pasta turn into glucose, which triggers insulin release. Insulin is like a key to open up cells to make our cells absorb all the glucose, remove it from the bloodstream and burn it for energy. The more glucose in the blood, the more insulin is released. While insulin is dealing with glucose, it tells our fat cells to hold on to the fat and turns off our fat burning processes. We can burn all the fat when insulin is around dealing with all the sugar .
