Its even in a lot of our "ingredients" for example... Most Americans aren't making spaghetti sauce from scratch. So when it's pasta ragu night your getting an extra helping of sugar from the sauce. Most European ketchups are nearly inedible to an American palate.

Spaghetti sauce is just tomatoes and spices. It gets ready by the time the spaghetti are cooked

They taste great to most Americans, the sugar is mostly in there to cover up low quality ingredients
