Fruit sugar is 'fructose' and granulated sugar is usually 'sucrose'.  The main difference is their effect on blood-sugars and insulin production.  (Worth Googling if you want to find out more details).  You will gain weight if you consume a lot more calories than you burn up each day... and that's regardless of how those calories are made up.  Fruit will make you gain weight if you eat/drink enough of it.
