Have you ever wanted to stop eating something sweet but you couldn’t? Is this the first thing that you look for cookies when you arrive home from school? Can you eat a box of chocolate all by yourself? Can you say “no” to sweets at parties? If you can’t, then there is a reason. That is perhaps you’re sugar addict (有瘾的人). Does that sound funny? Well, doctors say that people who often eat sweets can easily become addicted to sugar. What's more, most sugar addicts don't even know that they’re addicted!

Sugar addiction is serious, because it can really damage your health and even cause death. Doctors say that we should eat healthy food, such as fruits and vegetables, and we shouldn't eat a lot of sugar or fast food. But sugar addicts are difficult to follow this advice. Well, here is some useful advice:

● Eat some fresh fruits when you really want something sweet to eat.

● Cut down on sweet food slowly. Don't try to stop eating it all at once.

● You have to tell your parents, if they know, they will help you.
