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.
I know when i cut out excess refined sugar and barely ate any candy, fruit suddenly tasted better and sweeter. Now things like cola or candy are too sweet for me to enjoy. I’ll maybe have a handful of candy when previously i could eat a whole meals worth.
