So its not surprising that were born to want the sweet stuff. Sugar stores the suns energy like a battery. After a meal, your body breaks down foods into their building blocks. It uses some sugar for energy right away. The rest get stored for the body to break down later. Its a myth that sugar makes you extremely excited, but having a sugary snack can give you a quick burst of energy. Thats because the sugar in sweet foods is easy for your body to turn into fuel. When you eat other kinds of foods, like vegetables, it takes longer for your body to break the sugar down. These days its easy to find sweet snacks. Sodas, candy, cakes and even foods that seem healthy, such as yogurt, can be packed with sugar. Food makers add sugar, because they know that to humans, sweet makes everything taste better. Americans eat about 20 teaspoons of extra sugar every day. Thats way more than what is good for us. Eating too much sugar can cause more than a stomachache. It can make people overweight, decay the teeth and even cause diabetes. However, experts aren t worried about naturally sweet foods — the problem is added sugar. So go ahead and enjoy sweet apples or even sugar-rich carrots that are also full of vitamins and other good stuff. Even cake is great once in a while, as long as you dont overdo it. After all, no one wants life to be dull. And your body needs its fuel! 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。糖能给人体提供必需的能量，且易分解，人天生需要糖 分；虽然甜食尝起来可口，但是食用过量的糖有害人体健康，我们最好食用不但富含糖分、 还含有维生素和其他有益成分的天然食物。 1．People may be tricked into eating too much sugar because ____
