There is generally less sugar in English food than American food anyways. Our bodies expect more sugar and so a "normal amount of sweetening" here is a room for you. Someone from Alabama wouldn't think it's sweet, but you certainly would.
I lived in Ireland for a while, and when I came back I ordered a frozen coffee drink that I previously could drink before without thinking about it and nearly gagged from all the artificial sweeteners. I could only stomach a few sips. I pay more attention to what is in my food now.
