I'd definitely lump them together, ignore any distinctions, and strongly recommend avoiding all of them.
People eat such ridiculous amounts of vegetable oil now compared with any time in the past, that until it gets reduced to reasonable level such fine distinctions are only distracting.
Effects of unrefined sugar differ somewhat from effects of refined sugar too - still, the only sensible thing is to cut both.
I mostly do but I'll sometimes use olive oil for salad dressings or low temperature sauteing and coconut oil for higher temperature frying. I prefer butter or lard for low / high temperature frying respectively though.
Yeah, sugar's pretty bad in most of its forms. I don't worry too much about sugar intake in the form of raw fruits and berries (which I eat a lot of) though.
I took time to calculate how much Paleolithic, Neolithic, and Industrial is eaten in every country, and how it is changing, enjoy.
I doubt these sane uses would account for even 20% of amount of vegetable oil people consume these days. And there's nothing terribly wrong with using small amounts of sugar of any kind - it's the ridiculous amounts of it that are the main issue.
