Why Do I Crave Sweets?

Some people claim they are addicted to candy and sweets, which may sound a bit dramatic. The truth is, sugar from candy can indeed trigger the release of opiates in your brain, which make you feel pretty darn good. One part of your brain - the sensible, annoying part, knows that too much of anything that tastes too good has to have some bad effects on your body - but now you have an excuse for when the cravings for sweets overtakes your sensibilities. You´ll know you have a problem when you try to melt down your M&Ms and shoot them into your arm.
