Why do we Crave Sugary Foods?

[healthmed]

I read it somewhere... When we consume sugar out body gets used to it and the temptation rises.

I always used to consume tea with little extra sugar. When I decide to quit sugary foods, it just took a day ot two to get used to it. So it's all about momentum.

I think because the mind loves the feeling sugar gives of as the tongue tastes it. Sugar and salt give aftertastes. Sugar is like a drug anyone who has had drugs will say they taste sweet. If drugs did not taste good then people would not be addicted to taking them. Its the same with sugar. Well on a less level, but its similar.

I am addicted to sugar. I LOVE chocolate and candy bars. I don't eat them all the time but I get terrible cravings for such foods.

I think it is an addiction.
