If you read labels, it's doesn't take long see why the U.S. is near the top globally for obesity. The added sugar content in food is insane. I keep my sugar intake down by trying hard to stay away from food with more than a 2g of added sugar per serving for the better part of the week. I do find a way to get ice cream or some other sweet concoction once or twice per week.

I found my cravings for sweet stuff diminished by reducing consumption of them.

I'm contemplating going without added sugar for a week and then seeing how I feel. By "added sugar," I mean any time they add sugar to food as part of a recipe or as an additive. In other words, the sugar that naturally is present in foods like cantaloupe, watermelon, grapes, etc., is cool, but you don't eat things like cake, brownies, etc., or drink things like soda pop. It sounds hard to do, but not impossible. I've watched various Youtube videos by people who have done it, and every one of them reports health benefits like better energy, better quality sleep, and more. Some of them decide to just keep it up and make it a regular thing. Here's a video on how dumping the sugar is supposed to help your health.

I've already thrown alcohol out of my life, and it was worth it. I knew I needed to call it quits when I made the cover of a tabloid in Italy dry humping the Venus de Milo statue, an act that cost me $20K and spending 30 days in an Italian jail and being banned for life from that country. ..... Just kidding, that didn't really happen, but I did have good reasons for throwing alcohol out of my life, just not as colorful. I'll be 11 years sober on January 16th.

Maybe my health would be a whole lot better if I threw sugar out. .... I wonder if honey counts. I like honey in my Earl Grey tea.

I'm curious if anyone here has given sugar the heave-ho, and what your results have been.

I dropped sugar 3 years ago except on very rare occasions and controlled amounts due to late onset DM2. I don't miss sugar sodas at all and I only drink water. It's not hard to do at all when your life depends on it. I don't miss it.

It is really a crime letting food companies poising people with too much sugar in almost everything ...
You can start taking a firm action and stop sugar intake and while you are at it slow down on or stop easy carbs since it will turn to sugar (white bread pasta rice etc..)

Yup. That's one good reason for giving up artificial sweeteners too. They keep the cravings for sweets alive, among other things.

I don’t think I have a sweet tooth but dropping sugar entirely from one’s diet seems tough just on a practical level.

It's not, really. When I did Keto I was in the single digits some days.
