Anne, Probably no reason to reply as others have made many good points...but just to speak for my self.
As I'm sure you are aware refined sugar is ubiquitous and IMHO poison to our bodies. If I used your chocolate metaphor I'd be removing the tomatoes from the Ketchup? That's not what I want, I want refined sugar removed or just never added. The problem is as a society are palates are so accustomed to sugar that it takes a while to adjust to the flavors with out sugar. But the main reason I don't want to consume refined sugars are here<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/17/magazine/mag-17Sugar-t.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0> in this article which I find intriguing. The evidence may be inconclusive however I choose to reduce or eliminate as much refined sugar from my diet because the evidence is piling up which scares me. The Ketchup I spoke of has sugar added and though it's a small amount I wish it didn't. As Eric has said tomatoes and fruit have natural sugars so my preference would be to have any processed foods I eat to have as little to no added refined sugars. The chocolate I consume has in a (25g) serving sugar (lactose)2g, sugar alcohols (9g) net impact carbs 2g and it taste sweet and luscious. I hope this answers you question.
