Possibly because I consume sucralose regularly as a sweetener and have some negative impacts from sugar, it is definitely discerned and distinct from ‘sugar—will cause sugar effects’ to my tastes. I enjoy it for coffee and ice cream. I need more of it to balance out a bitter flavor, but don’t crave it for itself; accidentally making saccharine coffee doesn’t result in deciding to put splenda in tea later rather than go without or use honey.
For more pure sugar (candy, honey, syrup, possibly milk even), there’s definitely a saccharine-averse and a sugar-consume fighting at different kinds of craving for me. Past a certain amount, I don’t want more at the level of feeling like, oh, I could really use more sugar effects now; quite the opposite. But taste alone continues to be oddly desperate for it.
Fresh or frozen sweet fruit either lacks this aversion, or takes notably longer to reach it. I don’t taste a fruit and immediately anticipate having a bad time at a gut level. Remains delicious, though, and craved at the taste level.
