I think it's the amount that matter the most though fruits are always better than highly refined sugar which is deprived of other nutrients. If you have accidentally eaten a bunch of sweet fruits ( due to craving) . Be ready to spend it through alot of exercise ( like Okinawan ) because you clearly do not want your body insulin to stay elevated for 24 hours/day.
