Sugar can also be highly addictive. To enjoy it properly you have to have rather a fast metabolism or you shall bear the burdon of long term after effects.

I heard from rather a reputable (and sadly forgotton) source that sugar had in no way anything to do with the growth of disfiguring acne.

For those with a love for sugar might find that they become rather hyperactive in rather indulgent sessions. Sweet tooth's tend to enjoy this state rather a lot, though it may prove quite frustrating and annoying to other people in the room. Fits of giggling are not uncommon with the mass consumption (till you feel ill) of sweet treats.

For some (probably hormonal) reason, a lot of sweet tooth's lose their desire for sugar as their palettes... mature. Some manage to break through that barrier though, and never lose their sweet tooth.

Sugar fact of the day. One solitory can of Cocacola has -11- teaspoons of sugar in it. Of course you can always have a diet coke, but its just not the same is it?

Of course there is organic, unrefined sugar and fructose which is found in fruit both of which are better for us and the environment than refined sugar.

My hubbie and son are both addicted to sweet stuff (sticky and chocolate infused as a rule) and I'm constantly trying to ration their intake of the stuff!

Thyroid? I thought there were no aliens detected yet...

Smirk? Did I seem pleased?

The rest: I wish you good luck in your efforts. Whatever you do, they will continu stuffing their faces with sweet, sticky things. Unless......

Chocolate, of course, is in a league of its own.

Ofcourse, chocolate is something completely different. It's not only sweet and highly addictive, but also causes zits
