The article doesn't define "sugar". I stay away from all types though.

Well that's unfortunate for me then, because I'm not gonna stop drinking a liter of fruit juice every day even though I fully know it's 300% of my supposed daily carb intake limit.
There is little point to life if you remove every pleasure.

You could still buy fruit juices sweetened with stevia.

The study:
Leung, C. W., Laraia, B. A., Needham, B. L., Rehkopf, D. H., Adler, N. E., Lin, J., ... & Epel, E. S. (2014). Soda and cell aging: associations between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and leukocyte telomere length in healthy adults from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. American journal of public health, (0), e1-e7.
No effect from 100% fruit juice, or from diet soda, and the telomere length change with sugar sweetened beverage consumption wasn't dose dependent.
My guess is they're mostly seeing an association with dietary pattern, as Healthy Eating Index 2005 (their diet pattern adjustment) is so problematic academic nutritionists have created alternative measures.
