The fresh sweet fruits have a relatively low sugar content, so when eating them you will usually have enough before eating too much sugar, e.g. if you eat a half of kilogram (a pound) of fresh fruits each day that is still OK.
When pure sugar is added to food, most people, and especially most industrial producers, add far too much sugar, so it becomes very easy to eat too much sugar each day, while eating just a small amount of sweetened food, which does not cause satiety.
The only difference between sweet fruits and sweetened food is in the quantity of sugar, not in its quality.
If one eats, for example, 2 kilograms of sweet fruits each day, then that would still cause health problems eventually, even without any added sugar, like in the geese traditionally fed with figs, to make foie gras. The effect of eating food with too much sugar, which destroys the liver, has been well known for thousands of years, even before pure sugar became known in Europe.
If sweetened food is eaten in a very small quantity per day, it does not have any other effect than eating sweet fruits.
