    If it’s actually good tasting to you, and everyone who is going to eat it genuinely feels the same, go for it. But like, ever tried eating a rhubarb pie with most or all of the sugar omitted? It is horrible and a waste of food because the bitterness of the rhubarb needs to be balanced by the sugar. You can’t just take any recipe and cut out the central ingredient and expect to get palatable results. Making something else instead is the safer option.

    Also though, it is worse for you to eat smaller amounts of sugar consistently than a large amount of sugar all at once rarely, the former makes a better environment for bacteria growing on your teeth, and sugar is addictive so making a habit of just having a little on a regular basis will likely result in eating more overall than you otherwise would have.
