I don't, but I am told many love it in their coffee!

I try to stay away from sugar, except as a treat.

Not since they invented sugar.

Not since they invented sugar.

Just for goad information on sugar:

Northern India
Sugar was first produced from sugarcane plants in Northern India sometime after the first century AD. The derivation of the word “sugar” is thought to be from Sanskrit शर्करा (śarkarā), meaning "ground or candied sugar," originally "grit, gravel".

The first chemically refined sugar appeared on the scene in India about 2,500 years ago. From there, the technique spread east towards China, and west towards Persia and the early Islamic worlds, eventually reaching the Mediterranean in the 13th century. Cyprus and Sicily became important centres for sugar production

In the 1800s in the US, grocery stores had portable mills to grind lumps of muscovado sugar into granules. In 1858 the Mason Jar was invented and canning took off. Canning required white sugar, increasing the demand for it. ... Now sugar is challenged by high-fructose corn syrup, which is cheaper to produce and transport.

Chewing on sugarcane or consuming sugarcane water or syrup can help treat urinary tract issues and provide a boost of antioxidants, along with providing benefits to pregnant women and diabetic patients. Sugarcane has diuretic properties that can help remove excess salt and water to help the kidneys function properly.

Sugarcane juice is alkaline in nature because of the high concentration of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and manganese, which helps prevent diseases like cancer, that cannot survive in an alkaline environment. Thus it helps in fighting various types of cancer such as prostate and breast cancer.
