Jessica,
The world has been eating refined sugar and artificial dyes for a veeery long time, and we don't have the entire population of the western world landing in the hospital with shut down livers. I will grant that refined sugars and artificial sweeteners are not GOOD for you, but they are not liver poisons either. Your liver will not shut down just because you consume these ingredients.
Fruit is much better for you because of the extra vitamins and minerals and anti-oxidents and fiber and so forth, none of which are in refined sugar.
You may have health problems later in life because of the good nutrients you DIDN'T consume while you were filling your diet with all this artificial stuff, but you ain't gonna die from liver problems from sugar and dyes.
My two cents,

No Sugar? 
If your "doctor" said that, he's not a real doctor...or shouldn't be.
