Comment Re:Just do without "sweet" (Score 1) 18
I am not arguing for no sweet stuff at all. I am arguing for no sweetened stuff and making "sweet" the exception not the rule. For example, fresh fruit with a lot of sugar because it is very ripe is fine, bit only if consumed in moderation. And having ice-cream once or twice a month is not a problem either. But sweet stuff every day, every meal is not fine. And making that "sweet" effect artificial does not solve the problem at all, even though many people apparently think it does. A bit of self-discipline goes a long way here.
Of course, as society is so pervaded with "sweet", some things get more difficult. For example, if I want cake, I have to bake myself because what you can buy has so much sugar I find it utterly disgusting.
