[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1886370, member: 408573"] I agree with others when they say it is better to avoid all sweetened foods, it is surprising just how quickly your palate changes. For example, after diagnosis I halved the amount of sugar I put in my tea (I used to have half a teaspoon of sugar and cut it to a quarter of a teaspoon). I really struggled with this, the tea tasted horrible and a few times I caved in and put my usual half teaspoon in. Then I thought 'this is not working' so I cut out the sugar in tea altogether. It took just one month for my palate to adapt and I havn't had table sugar since then. Incidentally, a couple of times my son has forgotten that I no longer take sugar (or has brought me the wrong cup) and that first sip has my face screw up like a Champion Gurner! [/QUOTE]
