Is it connected to the fructose(yes, there’s fructose in sucrose too...) in soft drinks, by any chance.

But in the high fructose corn syrup that they use for soda pop, it's 55% fructose and 42% glucose, about a 4 to 3 ratio. When I went to med school 20 years ago, I never heard of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Does the UK also use HFCS ?

I kinda always thought that the wide use of HFCS was mainly an American phenomenon.

I wish we could stop limiting and taxing sugar imports so we wouldn’t need corn syrup.

Sounds to me that the cause and effect “found” in the study was purely statistical and we must take it on faith that the exploration was thorough enough to hone it down to this cause and this cause only. “Oh yeah, we forgot to ask them if they ...” could be the death of the study, not the subjects. Hardly something upon which to base policy.
