As a food technologist I can say YES, we are dying sweetly. We consume a huge amount of monosaccharides daily. Monosaccharides (or simple sugar) is the most dangerous form of carbohydrate, it can be found on all junk food, that's why you should avoid it at any cost. While other carbohydrates such as fructose (in fruits and veggies) lactose (in milk dairies) etc. are the good ones. I am planning to do a challenge "One month sugar-free", and will share the results here. Have a nice day.
