Topic: How long can you go without sugar? Posted: August 21 2015 at 20:54 |
I think my health would deteriorate, because sugar is a very important vegetable, and a great source of sucrose. It's ubiquitous too with scarcely a recipe that doesn't contain it. I might be able to replace it with Splenda in my chili, though. So, I'll say five years, although I would need to see if my doctor could ween me off all the placebos he's prescribed.

Oh hell yeah, worse than 'gluten-free'-- but I got the impression the OP meant sweets.

About as long as I can go without a bellybutton. A more interesting question would be: How long can you go without flushing a toilet?
