8. As Sweet as Sugar

Sugar is very sweet. It is often added to food to make it sweeter, while it also exists naturally in some foods. Eat some fruit, for example, and the sweet flavor will be largely down to a naturally occurring sugar known as fructose. The good news is that these natural sugars are less fattening than refined sugars.

The simile “as sweet as sugar” does not mean to say that a person actually tastes sweet. It is not normal for people to go around tasting each other after all. What it actually means to say is that the person in question is very kind to others.
