5. Dulled Taste Buds
Many people find sweet tastes pleasant. Our tongue gets used to different flavors, and sugar is no exception. British researchers discovered that overweight individuals have a decreased sensitivity to sweetness and a preference for sweet foods. In the same study, healthy and fit individuals who started drinking 2 sodas a day experienced dulled taste buds and sugar cravings after just 4 weeks.
Conversely, a 2016 study found that after a month of reducing sugar intake, the experimental group found they were more sensitive to sweet flavors. Therefore, if you cut back on sugar, foods will begin to taste sweeter without it.
