GOOD THING

1. Depress and Stress Cure

Sweets, sugar and desserts usually helps people who’s stressed and depressed, but the cure behind eating sweets and sugar has no scientific explanation yet. Personally I will not over eat too much sweet when I’m depressed nor stressed because I don’t want to get fat or unhealthy.

BAD THING

1. Bad Health and Diseases

Eating too much sweets is really a bad bad idea it can cause a lot of diseases and problem to you and to your body like Diabetes, Obesity, Insulin Resistance, Cavities, Liver Failure, Pancreatic Cancer and many more.
