You know you've got the "SUGAR BLUES," when you just can't say no to sweets.  The candy, cookies, sugary beverages (Sodas, Pops, fruit juices > instead of water), pastries (Pies, Cakes, Brownies) or any other carb craving substitute that you can't seem to do without.  You know you've got it bad when you see those tempting treats and they turn your head.  You know, those desirable deserts that you just can't say no to most of the time.  Have you experienced a SUGAR HIGH when after eating those tempting treats you feel so much better?  And deep inside you had to admit that you really needed that sugar fix. :o(. 

If you just can't desert the deserts, cut the cookies or toss the treats, you may be a slave to this addicting menace called your sweet tooth?  Well new research on rats suggests that the brain can become dependent, if not outright addicted, to sugar in foods.  The brain has opioid compounds and they seem to be released by palatable tastes such as sugar, fat, ice cream, cake etc.
