As it does other things like refined sugar, and you're right. In difference to naturally occurring sugars found in things like fruit for example, or bodies do struggle in processing it. However, our society has slowly been addicted to these uber sweet sugars in everything from our sodas, teas, fruit drinks, and food in general. If it's sweet, you will find a lot of people craving it and thinking it tastes great. What it really is is the sugar and fat content, sadly which ends up being an over abundance of both. Places like McD's make a killing off that very real addiction. Same for Chinese restaurants like Panda Express and the like. I ate some of their pasta the other day and it was so incredibly sweet that it was almost inedible to me. I see the same with Monjunis red sauce, it's like eating syrup, and yet there is no end to those who think it's amazing. Guess why.
