Sugar isn't really good for you in any amount. The required minimum of carbs for a human is 0g. A small amount isn't harmful though; it's only if you get enough that it harms your liver. Any simple sugar contains fructose and fructose is as bad for your liver as ethanol, but your liver can process a certain amount of fructose (or ethanol) without harm.
Wild fruit generally has much less sugar than cultivated fruit. Try eating a crabapple for proof of this.
What is good for you in fruit is the vitamins and the fiber, so eat a bit of fruit per day in moderation; just don't go overboard. The problem with PLEZi is apple juice may as well be HFCS as far as nutrition is concerned; it has no fibers and few vitamins.
I try and keep my fruit limited to dark berries (blue/black/ras), those have enough positives like antioxidants without much sugar where they are included on keto lists.
I'll eat a peach or orange if someone offers it to me but I don't buy bags of them at the store.
Honey is the only sweetener I use on occasion because I support the local bee population, you never know when you might need the help of bees.
If you're cooking from basic ingredients, there's not likely to be an excess of sugar. Most of our sugar comes from processed food. There is no minimum that you need, but 5g sugar a day is very doable.
