I think there is some level of hardwiring limiting the palatability of sweetness, at least in some people.

Anecdotally, even as a kid, I found Skittles to be unpleasantly sweet. To this day, I avoid most sweet soda drinks and seldom drink even those I can tolerate.

It is not discipline for me. It is not even taste. It is tolerance.
