Sweet is a surge of hormones in the blood; everything is associated with the word sweet; everything is the most pleasant.

Such stable turns to evidence this as “sweet life”, “sweet speech”, “sweet dream”. The first food in life is also sweet. Maybe sweet is the best food? I would like to, but no ...

By the way, about the mood. From the point of view of banal biochemistry, the more and tastier food gives the body energy, the more the brain will reward it with serotonin and dopamine - “happiness compounds”. These are delightful substances, almost drugs of their production so that she will want them repeatedly. Because of this, people who have given up sweets are so “sour” - because they no longer feel the “natural” background of these hormones due to the developed habit of increasing it. Also, the general physiological hormonal experience affects the love of sweets. Thus, the hormone estrogen affects blood sugar levels, which makes women more sweet tooth than men. But it is important to remember that sweets are different and, at times, very unhealthy.
