Yes, sugar can cause dehydration if it reaches levels in the blood that are too high. If the kidneys start producing more urine to try to rid the body of the excess sugar and too much fluid is eliminated, dehydration can occur.
Sugar in most products is present as either sucrose ( a fructose and glucose molecule bound together). The body then takes this molecule and splits it into it's components, which are metabolized by the body. Here is the simplified version of what the reaction of metabolizing glucose looks like: C6-H12-O6 (glucose) + 6 O2 --> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O
For those of you not familiar with what these complex science symbols and numbers represent, it says sugar+oxygen (the air you breath)--> Carbon Dioxide and Water! If the end result of this process is a considerable amount of water, then you obviously can not be getting dehydrated from it. Limiting sugar intake is advisable for other reasons though, sugars can be readily stored as fats by the body, and large sugar intake can lead to Diabetes over time.
