Endocrinologists have explained that it usually causes a strong desire to eat sweets. A common cause of this addiction is nutrient deficiencies. When the diet is balanced and the human body receives with food enough protein, useful fat, trace elements, a strong desire to eat sweets does not arise. But if a person’s diet is such that important substances are not enough, the brain may “require” sweets to sustain itself. Sweets are a generous source of glucose, which gives it energy and enters them into the blood very quickly.
“Often, when there is a lack of some vitamins and trace elements, a person begins to crave sweets,” – said experts.
Doctors added that overweight people who abuse sweets often suffer from “many deficiencies”.
They also said that many people eat sweets out of habit: for example, sweets are traditionally eaten during tea. This habit can form in about four weeks. This often happens in childhood, but the habit of eating sweets at some point in life often develops in adulthood.
