Why We Like Sweet Foods
Refined (white) sugar tastes so good that one cannot help wondering why it can be so unhealthy. Some people constantly eat so much sugar that they are often referred to as "sugarholics." They even crave sugary sweets so much that they may be characterized as being habituated to sugar.
