Question: If sweets are bad for us why are they so yummy!?
Answers:
Hi,
if you notice, everything that tastes good is bad for us!.
And all the stuff which is good for us normally tastes horrible!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because opur species (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) spent most of its time on earth (about 100,000 years) living as a hunter gatherer!. So our body is designed for this kind of life!. And for a hunter gatherer anything sweet or fatty is of great value because it enables him/her to store energy for more difficult times!. This is why our body sends us a signal of intense pleasure when we eat sweat or fatty food!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Actually they are not bad for you at all, but as with anything, too many are bad, but that doesn't matter as virtually everything (including water) is bad when taken to excess!. So just have a few occasionally and enjoy themWww@FoodAQ@Com

Unfortunately, as you say they're so yummy it's difficult to eat them in moderation!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
