How Many sugars do you have?

[PeteXXX]

I stopped adding sugar to things a year or so ago. Tea, coffee & cereals and no syrup in my porridge either.
The only sugar I actually add is to Bird's Custard powder.

I don't scrimp on cake or ice-cream, though! 😂

I drink my coffee without milk.

Did I ever tell you folks about the time I was on a course at Hendon and foolishly asked for a black coffee in the canteen? You'd have thought I'd turned up wearing KKK costume from the reaction I got.

1 x aspartame-free sweetener.

Never sugar.

Tea, strong with milk, no sugar.

Coffee, filter, strong black, no sugar.

Been that way since about 9 years old.

Half a sugar. I can take it without but a half spoon just makes it perfect. 2 sugars, even 1, it would be thrown down the sink.

I still use his voice now when anyone asks how much sugar ? Unless you're 60 plus, you'd have no idea who I'm talking about 😀

Not taken sugar in coffee for decades now, though of course cakes / biscuits / some chocolate contain a fair bit.
My running coach referred to it as " White Poison " 😁

I used to put one very small flat spoonful in one cup of coffee a day in winter only, but I've stopped drinking coffee altogether now, so none.

It's added sugar in general that needs limiting though, not just spoonsful in tea & coffee. It's recommended that no more than 5% of total calories should come from added sugar, but the national average is 12%.

5 sugars in his tea, and had up to 25 cups a day

I make that about 2000 kcals.

Surprised at how quickly I got used to the different taste, don't miss it at all.

Habituation is great, I used to think skimmed milk was horrible until I got used to it, now I think whole milk is revolting. Same with bread, I think white is revolting now I've been used to eating brown for the last 12 years.

Not a tea drinker, but coffee is always 2 spoons coffee (instant) and two spoons sugar. This is for normal to largish mugs, never really get the mega-mug thing.

Also, just absolutely has GOT to be brown sugar. White sugar just ruins the experience

Instant coffee and two spoons.

 

[fossyant]

Come on who has ticked three and four

None here.

 

[Jameshow]

None but I do like chocolate and cakes!😳

Two make a cup of tea drinkable, three for a mug. No amount of sugar makes coffee drinkable.

 

[Dave 123]

Not since I was a teenager.

On the rare occasion that I’m made tea or coffee and someone has put sugar in it’s absolutely disgusting. What’s worse is that it takes an age for the taste to go.

🤢🤢🤢

I'm amazed that 86.5% of people don't have any sugar. I'd have thought it more like 60/40 ratio in favour of none versus 1. You live and learn.

I wonder of that is because of the more mature membership?

2 + depending on cup size. Minimum of 3 for instant coffee.
