Picture warm, gooey cookies,
crunchy candies, velvety cakes,
waffle cones piled high with ice cream.
Is your mouth watering?
Are you craving dessert?
Why?
What happens in the brain that makes sugary foods so hard to resist?
Sugar is a general term used to describe a class of molecules
called carbohydrates,
and it's found in a wide variety of food and drink.
Just check the labels on sweet products you buy.
Glucose, fructose, sucrose,
maltose, lactose, dextrose, and starch
are all forms of sugar.
So are high-fructose corn syrup,
fruit juice, raw sugar, and honey.
And sugar isn't just in candies and desserts,
it's also added to tomato sauce,
yogurt, dried fruit, flavored waters, or granola bars.
Since sugar is everywhere, it's important to understand
how it affects the brain.
