I never was one to drink much juice, but I did like sweet coffee. I started drinking my coffee black a few years ago -- not by choice, it was a health decision. Since then, though, my sweet tooth has been seriously curbed. Foods that I thought tasted yummy now are simply way too sweet for me. It is interesting how eliminating the sweet drinks changed my perspective on food so much.

Same here. Everything is so sugary, even simple stuff like bread. I blame it on the huge subsidies the sugar industry gets, likely because the sugar lobby spent decades lobbying congress to get special privileges. Same reason High-Fructose Corn Syrup is in everything in the US. It's cheap because it's subsidized, because those industries lobbied to get special support.
