I adored sweets as a child, a couple of years back I gave up sugar, the results- my skin looked great but my mood went down like a lead ballon! I seem to be addicted to sweets at the moment does anyone else have a liking for sugar?

I had a HUGE sweet tooth as a kid, but I gave up sugar (not 100%, but 90%) in 2004. My mood hasn't been affected but my health is better. I'm surprised that I don't miss it at all, except on rare occasion.

Sugar is the best gotta have it can't give it up. It ranks up there with caffeine as one of my favorite things in the chemical world.

Sugar (although, the dose is in debate because its difficult) helps the brain function, somewhat (I was looking into brain foods). You shouldnt remove sugar from your diet but you shouldnt abuse it by any means.

I used to love sweet foods as a kid, which got me a lot of crap from nearly all the adults in my life. They all thought I ate too much sugar, and they tried all sorts of measures to limit my consumption of it. Then, around the age of 13, my preferred shifted from sweet to spicy (think buffalo wings). I still like sweet foods, but I only eat them for dessert, and only if I have the room for them.

The only sweet thing I eat are those Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts. I eat around 4 a day. I enjoy eating salty stuff more.

Sugar is my major food group. Salt is my second favorite. Hate sour or bitter tastes, that includes most fruits, vegetables, and spices.
Maple sugar candy (not the blended type adulterated with sugar cane crystals) is so fabulous, the texture & flavor are scrumptious. I'm an unrepentant sugar-fiend. My teeth are bad, but that's caused by years of avoidance of fillings due to my sensory terror at having dentistry done.

I have a bit of a problem with sweet things, in that I crave them very strongly almost every day. It's much worse when the weather is really cold outside. During the winter I need something sweet every night or I will have a hard time sleeping because I will be craving it so badly. During the summer I'm fine.

I hate nuts. I gag if I find some in my food.
But yes, I love sugar, I'm not giving it up.
