I’m not sure if it’s just me but it seems when I drink something sweet it stops being noticeably sweet only a couple mouthfuls in and I’m starting to wonder if it’s just me

    It’s subtle, but yes it tastes “almost” sweet despite there being no sugar.

    Do you drink sugary drinks or eat sugary foods on a regular basis? There is some research showing that excess sugar intake can drastically reduce your body’s ability to sense sweetness.

      Ya I’ve been putting a decent amount of sugar into my tea for a long time last I measured it was about a 80 grams cup per 24oz after adding milk or cream just to make it sweet to taste
