No and yes. Sugars are only bad for you if you consume more than your body needs. For example, a persons brain requires and body requires carbohydrates inorder to function, and carbohydrates are disaccharides meaning two strands of bonded glucose (lamens terms- complex sugars).
Disaccharides include:
Carbohydrates (breads, pastas, ect)
Starch (potatoes, beans)
Lactose (found in milk)
Sucrose (sugar as we know it)
Maltose (malt sugars such as found in beer)
These are all different types of sugars. However, with the above, your body has to work a little harder in order to break them down into a monosaccharide (lamens term: simple sugars) so that it can be adsorbed as a nutrient to help fuel the body.
Monosaccharides include:
Glucose (of which most disaccharides are broken into in the human body)
Fructose (found naturally occurring in fruits)
Galactose (found in sugar beets and dairy products)
One could say in the most strict of manners, that it is healthier, if one wished to consume sugars, to do so with monosaccharides as the body can easily absorb them.
