1st: they are NOT healthy. You just never eat berries in such amounts as you consume sugar in confectionery things.
2nd: there are many different types of sweet substances. Some are worse like sugar, others are safer like fructose.
Fructose is the element in sugar (Sucrose) that actually taste sweet, it is also the part that is unhealthy. it acts somewhat like alcohol.
Giving similar problems and can also cause dependency.
If you want to know the basics about sugar I don’t think there is much better info than this out there, absolutely worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
Fructose is twice as sweet as Glucose, and while we do use Glucose for energy the same is not true for fructose, and fructose is way way more harmful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetness
Unless you have FLD the vast majority of metabolic damage is from persistently elevated blood glucose. There is no dietary requirement for exogenous glucose in our food.
So is 100g of fructose worse then 100g of glucose? Sure, but glucose is still quite bad and abundant in most people’s diets.

I don’t think no 1 is a valid argument as that applies to all food. Also, fructose is a sugar

Glucose by itself tastes sweet
Glucose by itself is also very unhealthy

Sure, but the fact remains that glucose is sweet.

This is true, we can make all the glucose we need without eating any sugar at all.
True.
I don’t remember the concrete names of the substances; my point was that there is a variety of them and they react differently in the body.
You made 2 false claims, and now you say you don’t actually know what you are talking about.
Yes, I kind of figured that out already.
