Hi all,
I just made some lemon tea and hot chocolate today, sweetened with artificial sweetener sucralose, and I have to say I'm surprised about how it tastes exactly like sugar!
It got me thinking... Why is it that sour drinks, or bitter drinks are only desirable to drink if they are sweetened?
Could it be that we evolved to require sugar, because sugar helps the body to process acidic or bitter compounds? I'm starting to worry that perhaps my body actually needed real sugar...
Because there is absolutely no way I would ever drink hot chocolate if it was just cocoa and water/milk. I would almost worry that I'm somehow damaging my body with so many bitter compounds...
