Simply because sugar is more calorie dense.

  That's not making them inherently unhealthy.

    Maybe down voted due to context but it's correct. Sugar has 4 calories per gram, same as protein, while fat has 9 calories per gram. Unless you're diabetic or have diabetes markers you really don't have to worry at all about glycemic index so at that point sugars aren't inherently bad, it's just their ubiquity as a favour enhancer
