If you make someone addicted to sweetness, then they will crave sweetness in whatever form they can get. Including real and fake sugars. Quite simple.

Most people are already addicted to that.

It would still be of great benefit to replace sugar with much smaller amount of protein.

Overconsumption of sugar (glucose) leads to diabetes which leads to metabolic / autoimmune issues. Basically it fucks up your body inside.

Overconsumption of protein doesn't fuck up your body and it's much harder to over-eat protein that it is to over-eat glucose.
