Two reasons- a spike in insulin and the fact that it's empty calories. We'll talk only about processed sugars and corn syrup here (not fruit sugars). Consuming a large amount of processed sugar results in a large insulin spike as your body attempts to regulate your blood sugar. It's thought that a continually high-sugar diet with these repeated insulin spikes eventually leads to insulin resistance- your blood sugar will require more and more insulin to stay in check. The theory goes that this will eventually develop into Diabetes (type II) and you'll require insulin shots. Also is the fact that it's empty calories. By consuming empty sugars, you exclude other nutritious fruits, vegetables and whole grains that your day's carbohydrates could have been "spent" on. Since sugar is tasty, there's also a very good chance that you'll overeat, consuming high-sugar foods simply because they taste good and not because you're hungry, which will lead to weight gain in the long run. Fruit sugars are slightly different- they are fructose, and as such aren't as quickly absorbed as regular sugar- meaning any sort of insulin spike will be much less, especially since fruit is much less concentrated in sugar than high fructose corn syrup. Additionally, these calories from fruit sugars come with all the benefits of fruit: fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and all the other little beneficial compounds we're still pinning down. So when you're getting sugars from fruit, your aren't getting empty calories at all- so eat your fruit if you want something sweet!
