It is unlikely, but conceivable that the sugar is causing an allergic reaction and that the reaction is accompanied by excess salivation. Or, it could be a mechanical problem, if you have a chronically dry throat. If you choke with any other ingested substances, solid, semi-solid or liquid, that would be a different matter and, in that case, you should have a medically supervised swallowing study
You might try avoidance of highly sugar content foods for a while and selectively seek foods sweetened by artificial sweeteners.
Good luck
