Ah, I see. Those aren't really cakes at all, despite the names. Thanks, that makes more sense.

You're just extremely sensitive to sugar. The average person is not.

But also, that's not necessarily an adaptation. I went for an entire year once without sugar. Once I went back (after finishing losing weight), nothing tasted overly sweet. It still tasted exactly as I remembered. I could (and can) still drink a Coke and it tastes great.

I mean, especially when I work out, I wind up ingesting a lot of glucose. It's just what my body needs to fuel itself, to keep my blood sugar from getting too low.



>You're just extremely sensitive to sugar.

Then I must be extremely sensitive to sugar, too.
