two reasons. as you get older the taste buds in yr mouth that sense sweetnes are dulled and the taste buds in yr mouth that sense bitterness and sourness are enhanced. when a child you need energy and energy comes from sweet. as an adult you need vitamins and inerals and nourishment and bitter foods have that (think of spinach and brocolli and mustard and such foods.)
also, since the company ADM has momnopolized corn production in the USA they have shoved corn syrup down the nation's throats as a sweeteener instea dof sugar, which the USA does not grow much of. Most candies and sodas are now made with corn syrups. this is why when you get a "honeybun" at the convenience store it is oily and slimy. the corn syrup seeps out of it. old candies and baked treats were made with sugar which crystalizes most delicious and allows for no slime and crispy flakey goodness.
go to mexico and have a coca cola, made with REAL CANE SUGAR and your taste buds will explode.
