Hi Elaine M,
As hunter gatherers our sugar intake would have come from fruit and honey. Both were scarce and largely seasonal.
Sugar intake has increased from a couple of Kg of honey to lots of kilos a year - 50 kg is a figure I have seen.
Refined sugar has by definition other nutrients removed.
How much - less is more.
Excess sugar also impacts on digestion, as well as the more obvious effects on health.
Digestion is key to health.
With time taste will change and even raw broccoli can taste sweet - yes that surprised me too.
