Let's look at this from the standpoint of Pascal's Wager.

If eating too much sugar is bad for you and has negative consequences and you choose to cut back, you have significant gains in living a healthy lifestyle.

If sugar is not bad for you and you cut back, you've given up on a few pleasures, but in the grand scheme of things, you've lost nothing.

So, why not cut back and eat as if sugar is bad for you? I think there is enough credible evidence to take a chance and cut back.

No, I don't feel the same way about non-gmo, organic, grass fed, gluten free food, grown and cultivated by virgin nuns. I think the "natural food" cruft is just a bunch of marketing.
