I don’t know if it’s because of me growing up and my tastes changing, but I could swear fruits from the grocery store when I was a kid were nowhere near as sweet as they are now. Some of the fruits I’ve eaten recently are genuinely sweeter than soda because the soda tastes bitter after eating the fruit.
Are they selectively breeding/GMOing fruits to produce more sugar? Is that bad? I feel like that’s a bad thing but don’t actually know.
Fruits still have other flavors to my taste. Your sensitivity to sugar will change based on how much of it your eat, so if you’ve adapted to eating a lot less sugar you may have become so sensitive to sweetness that it overpowers other flavors.
