Interesting. Both my brother and sister have the same phenomenon: they love candy and desserts, but dinner foods that have any element of sweetness (like beets, sweet potatoes, or even sweet-and-sour sauces) gross them out.

You can sweeten most of those teas a little...of course, that means adding calories to something that's essentially calorie-free.

Don't like beets, don't like sweet-and-sour sauces. Do like sweet potatoes, but only by themselves with butter... if I put them with non-sweets (like other potatoes, or savory spices) then they will be too sweet to go with, and if I put them with sweets (pineapple, marshmallows) then they will be too savory to go with. Contrary things, sweet potatoes.

If I'm going to wind up drinking liquid sugar anyway, I may as well go on drinking juice, I think.

Huh, me three with certain types of sweet foods. (For example, I generally really really don't like sweet salads. I prefer non-sweet vinegars, etc... But I'll happily om nom nom on, say, chocolate. (though I do favor dark chocolate))
