Let's get down to brass tacks. Why sweet ? Why does everything have to be sweet ?
I quit coffee, but since the 1980s I quit putting sugar in it. I lost my sweet tooth I guess, but seem to have kept all the rest. I believe you can change your taste, and get used to it. I also made iced tea with no sweetener at all in it because it is very hard to find in the stores. However I have no use for the caffiene so I don't drink any of it at all now. I haven't had a soda in decades and I don't miss it one bit.
It got to the point where if I grabbed the wrong coffee and it had sugar in it I would spit it out. I can literally smell the sugar in an unopened 2 liter of Pepsi or Coke. Back when I drank such things, I preferred RC Cola because it was much less sweet.
I don't understand peoples' need to sweeten everything. There are so many flavors out there, why is sweetness so exhalted ? I like food, I eat steaks with nothing on them, chicken I spice up heavily, but not with salt.
Salt is another thing. If you get unrefined salt it is one of the best things for you, and even if you could get pure sodium chloride it would be good for you. But the anti-clumping agant they put in table salt makes it a slow poison. It does not metabolise properly in the body and forms compunds that clog you up.
Now sugar is similar. What is in the sugar bowl is a chemical, refined in much the same way as cocaine. Ingesting too much and not getting enough chromium and vanadium in your diet WILL cause diabetes. But then if you eat table salt, it may inhibit your body's ability to properly metabolise other minerals, so it might be a waste of time.
Interesting to note, it is processed into molasses, which has a pretty good content of chromium and vanadium, then it is processed into dark and light brown sugar, which has traces of chromium and vanadium, these were not put there by Man, but they were taken out by Man. By the time it reaches your sugar bowl is has absolutley no nutritional value, and what used to be in it, trace minerals which your body needs to properly metabolise it are all gone. It is a chemical now.
There are alot of things that are not what they used to be. For example monosodium glutimate. It used to be made from kelp, but no more. Kelp grows in the sea, and the MSG made therefrom was no doubt rich in minerals, but no more. They have a new and improved way.
Yes they have a new and improved way, among many others to get us sick. Olestra is a perfect example. You could eat otherwise a healthy diet, rich in minerals and everything a body needs. But olestra wipes it out.
What people do not understand is that the digestive process takes alot longer than you think. It takes days, and if your metabolism is sped up to the point it does not, you will have troubles. It takes time for your body to absorb all that. Olestra wipes it out.
But back to the point, I do not understand why people are infatuated with sweetness. I mean I used to put vinegar in spaghetti sauce, and that is back before I quit sugar ! Some people put sugar in it ! Why ?
People are conditioned. And I think many perpetuate the problem giving their kids sweets, some even would put karo syrup in the bottle for them. If we break the cycle of addiction, and that is what it is, this all becomes a non-issue. If we have no need for it, it can be as poisonous as it wants.
