I've heard this before but not researched it thoroughly. It's been regularly stated in conspiracy forums that the sugar industry has heavily lobbied the FDA and other "health" organizations, to support the narrative that things like heart disease and obesity are due to fat and salt consumption, rather than excess sugar consumption, which is what's actually causing it. If this is true, then in reality this study might be one of those rare cases where "science" accidentally reports the truth.
The sugar industry did a lot of research to try to get people to think "all calories are the same" when they are, in fact, not the same. Sugar calories on an "energy in/energy out" diet are the same, but sugar is NOT the same as other calories in how they affect your hormones.
In short, a bunch of pixie sticks and candy is not the same as a steak, even if they are the same calories, when it comes to how full you feel and how hungry you get later.
The lancet seems to suck less than some of the other science sources. They were also among the first to dare to publish a few things that called into question some of the covid sacred cows.

the paper does not present the conclusion inferred by the headline
the subjects in the study were those already hospitalised by heart disease
