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.
I know most of us must be surprised at how long the usage of sugar have been in existence, it has been so widely use all around the world, and is being consumed, I am one of the consumer of Sugar, my parents have always restricted our consumption of sugar, warning us of the dangers of taking sugar in large quantities, I didn't pay much attention to this warning until I learnt the hard ward by experience,
First off Adulthood will make you more aware of many things, and experience will make you wiser.
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.

Here are some of the measures I took:
First off I started reducing the intake of anything with sugar in it.
I begin to watch my self, I restricted my consumption of tea, soft drinks, biscuits, bread ,
