I would imagine even dried fruits you make yourself are mostly sugar.

People like to imagine the sugar within whole fruits is somehow magically less harmful to your pancreas.

That's because it is. The complex carbohydrates in whole fruit (as opposed to juice or candy) slows down your digestion and you don't get a blood sugar spike.

One imagines GP is more referring to oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, in addition to dietary fiber. Not all fruits contain excess fructose, and many contain basically trace amounts in reasonable servings.

maybe not your pancreas but not all sugars are equal, and the most common "added" sugar in the us is HFCS which is processed by the body differently then natural glucose common to fruit

Yes it is. This is a video I'd found many years ago which goes into substantial depth. It's long, but IMHO worth watching.
Sugar: THE BITTER TRUTH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM
It's a presentation by Robert H. Lustig, MD, UCSF Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology.
