Twenty years ago, I met a couple with a young son who decided not to let the kid have sugar. I wonder how that might have worked out for the kid now that he’s grown.

I assume the kid hit 18 and went on a sugar binge as soon as he tasted it the first time.

Anyone have experience with this?

    There are cultures where sweet foods are less common or less extreme. They eat American sweets and complain that they don’t like it because it tastes too sweet, or they will complain that America sweetens foods that they normally don’t expect to be sweet.

    I grew up having constant access to sweets. While I have never been obese, I do struggle with addiction to sweets and it is a constant challenge to try not to overdo it.
