It is meant to be taken literally. It seems that I’ve consumed way too much sugar.
Comment on Salt is very salty. Sugar is not that sweet.

I know it's not meant to be taken literally, but it is literally incorrect. If you don't consume a lot of sugar, it tastes very sweet when you do.

I stopped drinking pop about 10 years ago and I bought a bottle of coke a couple days ago because I had a free coupon I didn’t want to waste. I had about 3 sips before I started feeling so sick I nearly threw up on the drive home.

Does this happen as well when you drink juice or eat fruit? If not, it’s likely a placebo and not the sugar.

You do understand that refined sugar is processed differently in your body than natural sugar right?
erin@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 days ago
Fructose, glucose, and sucrose are the same whether you refine them or not. If you’re getting enough fiber and vitamins in your diet, which you should doing either way, both are processed the same. I’d like to see your source. All refining does is strip the natural sources of the river and other nutrients that come with those sugars, which again, you should be getting either way. The whole “natural sugar good, refined bad” thing is a total myth made up to make a larger market for apples and oranges than would exist otherwise, as any dietician could tell you. If you’re getting balanced fiber and nutrients in your diet, the sugar source does not matter. It’s the exact same molecules.

When you add sugar to a dish you do it by the cupful or spoonful but when you add salt you do it by the pinch. It’s definitely true.

Nah mate. Stop eating sugar for a while and suddenly sweet fruits can be too much sometimes. I can’t eat sugary foods anymore. Adding some salt to a dish brings out flavour, adding sugar makes it sweet.

Put a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water and it is so salty you can barely sip it without gagging. Put a teaspoon of sugar in a glass of water and it is mildly sweet.
