In the end, sugar is sugar; whether you get it from fruit or not.
Obviously, you're better off eating fruit than getting it refined because you get vitamins and antioxidants from fruits and the fiber makes the absorption into your body slower.
In the end though it's still sugar.
I personally try to keep mine under 50 (but I allow for a bit more when I exercise), though in general I wouldn't recommend going above 100g, with a large percentage of that coming from fruits and veggies.0
