Pretty sure your taste changed too. I used to have a small glass of Coca Cola or something similar as a treat when hanging with friends. When I decided to cut sugar to lose weight, I no longer could stand the sweetness. The friends would say it was still the same stuff.

It's bizarre how much sugar simple food items have. Even bread has more sugar than needed for the yeast to work. It's like eating spongecake if you're unlucky.

I totally agree! Everything I used to love is either too salty, too greasy, too bitter, too waxy, too acidic, too sweet, or too syrupy.

I grew up not liking the taste of milk because it was grainy and I can actually taste the pasteurization process (kind of a gluey film over the milk), but after my tastes changed, it’s like I can taste the BS chemicals in ingredients “necessary for long shelf life”.

It just tasted.... fake.

Yeah. All the subtlety in processed food seems gone. I make my food from scratch since way too many food is otherwise inedible to me. Quite sad, noting how flavors are intensified as well as dumbed down into basic tastes like sweet and salty.
