190.We humans are addicted to sugar.That makes sense.All animals need sugar to live.It's the fuel that powers our cells.So it's not surprising that we're born to want the sweet stuff. Sugar stores the sun's energy like a battery.After a meal,your body breaks down foods into their building blocks.It uses some sugar for energy right away.The rest get stored for the body to break down later.It's a myth that sugar makes you extremely excited,but having a sugary snack can give you a quick burst of energy.That's because the sugar in sweet foods is easy for your body to turn into fuel.When you eat other kinds of foods,like vegetables,it takes longer for your body to break the sugar down. These days it's easy to find sweet snacks.Sodas,candies,cakes and even foods that seem healthy,such as yogurt,can be packed with sugar.Food makers add sugar,because they know that to humans,sweet makes everything taste better.Americans eat about 20 teaspoons of extra sugar every day.That's way more than what is good for us. Eating too much sugar can cause more than a stomachache.It can make people overweight,decay the teeth and even cause diabetes.However,experts aren't worried about naturally sweet foods—the problem is added sugar.So go ahead and enjoy sweet apples or even sugar-rich carrots that are also full of vitamins and other good stuff. Even cake is great once in a while,as long as you don't overdo it.After all,no one wants life to be dull.And your body needs its fuel!
