Every one love sweet things, starting from when I was a baby I love sweet things, and am pretty sure this is also the same with every other people out there, I have never seen any one that won't love sweet things except maybe perhaps you are on some type of Sugarless Diet.

Ever one love sweet thing, Sugar is Sweet, so literally every one love sugar lol,this is my opinion though.
There possibility of sugar being in 50% of all the soft drinks in the world, It is contained in almost all beverages, bread, biscuits, and many other food items.

Sugar also known as (table sugar) is the common name given to the organic compound.
The sugar we use is chemically known as sucrose, a disaccharide of glucose and fructose.Sugar is gotten from two plants, The Sugar Cane and the sugar beet, Sugar beets were not commonly used until the middle of the 19th century, when it became popular, but the sugar cane has been used for sugar for thousands of years.

My Intake of Sugar was much when I was younger, whenever I want to drink tea, take Garri, sometimes whenever I cook bean I add sugar, it so worst to that extent, just like an addiction I add sugar to everything in excess amount.
The effect of this is got Diabetes and dysentery often, it got so worst
It was a very painful experience that happened to me almost 3 times in different occasions.
