The health threat is not from being overweight. Obese people can be healthy.
The health threat from fructose is liver damage, and all the knock-on results of a sick liver, what they call Fatty Liver Disease, Metabolic Disorder, or lately Processed Food Disease. It differs little from the cirrhosis alcoholics get.
No, they truly cannot be, at least relative to the equivalent non-obese state. (I assume, of course, a sane definition for the term "obese").
I realize this has somehow (bizarrely) become a controversial issue in the US of late but the mountain of scientific evidence is incredibly clear on this point.
If you don't get it, it's in their names – they spend their time hunting and gathering, not sitting around watching TV or on a computer. The extra nutrient absorption may benefit them in that case, as opposed to in a more sedentary/modern lifestyle.
I'm skeptical that honey consumption among hunter gatherers would come close to matching a diet with processed foods and hidden sugar, let alone the non-so-hidden sugar. Do you have a source?

And your snark of "if you don't get it" is absolutely uncalled for here on HN. It's not appropriate.

By (1), 20% of a 2000 cal diet (assumption) would be 400 cal, or 100g sugar. By (2), average US sugar intake is 71.14g/day
