    When we see sweets, the brain releases dopamine, a chemical substance that makes people have a strong desire, and then we eat it under the drive of the brain and feel the sweetness, and the brain releases endorphins. , We will feel extremely happy and satisfied. But such happiness does not last long, it needs to be triggered by the next "eating sugar". Therefore, eating sugar is also addictive. The mechanism of this addiction is similar to that of nicotine and drugs.
