What is your favorite food? I want to make it for you for dinner, so please tell me what you’d like it to taste like.

I don’t usually like sweet desserts.

In other words, I like the tastes and smells of most foods, but not usually the taste of sweet foods.

Great, so which non-sweet food would you like me to make for you?

Oh, don’t worry – I know what I like.

The main reason why I don’t like sweet desserts is because of a reaction I have (when I remember eating them) where I feel sick for the whole day, and for a long time thereafter, and it takes a few days before I can get over it. (And as someone who was very sensitive to sugar in the past, this reaction can last a week or more).

If you make something with sweeteners, that won’t be a problem. The main reason not to make sweet desserts in the first place is more of a “I do not want to try eating something with so much sugar that makes me nauseous” thing, not anything else.

(I would prefer if the non-sweet food does not use a lot of sugar, or at least as little as the thing with the gross sugar would use. The reason I say “non-sweet food” above is that I feel like my diet tends to fall into that category – I like most foods, but I feel that way about sweet foods. Not as bad as sweet foods for me, but similar enough that I wouldn’t eat them very often)

(I feel like I am explaining this weirdly, because people probably don’t feel this way about their food. If people feel this way about candy, it seems like a natural and unforced choice, but I am just describing my own reactions)

is this sucrose intolerance or diabetes?
