I find that like Kenny says, foods are starting to taste totally different to me now, the more I eat paleo, and since I banned all processed foods in particular. I had to get rid of the sugar long ago, and I rarely eat fruit--but lemons are sweet to me now. Stevia is used at least in part mixed in with fruit juices in most canned sodas in Japan, which , by the by, are not carbonated. Not that I drink them anymore I just think its interesting. I notice the biggest change in salt tho. I just add a little compared to what I used to. I will get down to none, and have on some foods, but anyways its a good start. I like to taste my foods, expecially all those different leaves they have here. I think my checkout lady thinks I am keeping a rabbit or something. Judith
