Before you jump screaming “of course!”, let me tell you something: I don't like them. Yep, that's right. I don't like marshmallows. I've always loved the way they look, like fluffy little pillows of sugar, but after the first bite, I remember that I don't like them and give them to someone else.

Although the term sugar addiction sounds a bit harsh, studies are being made to settle the question once and for all: is the overeating of sugary food a habit or an addiction? The problems associated with a high sugar intake range from obesity, tooth decay, diabetes, heart disease and some others. Even though sugar isn't nearly as scary as alcohol or drugs, most of us are used to eat large amounts of it. The worst part is that we are unaware of our high consumption of this sweet substance!
