Your problem is that you (and perhaps the original authors) are oversimplifying. No scientific study would ever claim that HFCS is 'healthy' or 'unhealthy'. They would claim that eating X amount of HFCS causes an increase in Y. The other paper would claim that eating Z amount of HFCS does NOT cause an increase in Y(or A). Y may be related to health, and so might A, but 'healthy' is a value judgment which we do not make.
Read the surgeon general warning: "quitting smoking now may reduce serious risks to you health". These are the kinds of statements science is legitimately able to make. Not 'you will die young if you smoke' or ' cancer sticks are unhealthy'.
