I've completely given up sugar about two months ago, which has reduced my pot about half already

There's this misconception about fruit, this is what I consume to take care of that sweet tooth...your liver can't handle sugars so it turns it into fat, this isn't the case with "fruit"

Interesting info about honey, but i found i don't have use sweeteners anymore.

LOL - Joz - that's because you are a honey.

Haha, At my mothers on her BD, my neice brought along a "healthy" cake apparently; it was like a huge hit could really taste the sugar in it.

Joz, it's amazing how sensitive you can get to it.
I've had a cup of tea stirred with a spoon that had been used in a cup with sugar in it and could taste the sugar.
I never had sugar in my tea previously anyway.
My friend was amazed when I said you've given me the wrong cup.
He said "gee your good, all I did was use the same spoon"

Yep too right

I'm amazed it's not a big deal to quit, I really don't have a craving for it anymore

I think the craving's there only if one is actively consuming it (always need a top up)
