Oh Sugar,
oh honey, honey,
you are my candy girl,
and I can’t stop loving you…
You’ve scarfed your main meal. Now for a sweet to top it off.
You’ve had bad news, been through an arduous ordeal. Now for a pick-me-up: a piece of cake, a sugary cookie.
Whether your body is young or old, sugar’s not good for it. When you’re young, sugar can cause aggression and anxiety. In adolescence, it contributes to pimples and and poor skin. As you get older, it plays havoc with moods. Sugar provides energy when you’re flagging. But once the rush peaks, you plummet to a place still lower than where you started. It gets harder to concentrate and remember things. Must be time for another cookie? Ye… no!
