    Not as much as I used to.  But I LOVE cake!!

    Sugar in and of itself isn't evil.  Excessive sugar is what's bad (more than a pinch every 100 years).

    I do use some in various sauces, such as my teriyaki. Most of the rest goes into the hummingbird feeders.

  • Yes, I have a major sweet tooth. I love macarons and ice cream bars.

    Everything in moderation.

    I do like to eat sweets but a long time ago I found out that sweets can be unhealthy so I eliminated about 90% of sweets out of my diet. I even get cravings for sweets sometimes but I bear with it.

  • I love eating sweets ever since I was a child.  As an adult, I usually eat sweets in moderation.

    Not really. I do like coffee ice cream, but I don't like most other sweets and I try to avoid added sugars in most foods.

    I have been off sugar for a long time. Stevia for my coffee is all I consume and a little dark chocolate bits.

    Geez -- based on the answers thus far, I seem to be one of a very few persons in the world, along with Nevan B who likes cookies, donuts, chocolate milk,  cake (and, Shuhak, too is with us on that one)

    That probably explains why you're the sweetest person here.

    Now and again. Cane sugar is nowhere near as evil as corn syrup.

    Cane sugar is a di-saccharide and must be split to create glucose, the sugar used in cellular respiration. Corn syrup is already glucose. I guess cane sugar is twice as evil.

    I do.  I don't eat sugar anymore because of its evil character.  It is the single food that causes inflammation more than any other.  Publix has delicious artificially sweetened ice cream and frozen novelties like fudge bars and ice cream sandwiches.  Also, Murray makes great sugar-free chocolate chip cookies.  So I eat sweets but not sugar anymore.  And, it was hard to stop eating the sugar....I ate Life Saver Wint-O-Green mints all day every day  for years.  That's probably the closest thing to an addiction I've experienced.

    With all those sweeteners you must be able to crap through the eye of a needle.
