Teuthis~ Ideally I think you are right. Eating sweet tastes does prolong the urge for that taste. I believe it would be better if we could just eliminate them all together.......but......

1. We are all individuals and learn to deal with this woe in our own way and what we each eat is a choice. Some chose to completely go without and some to moderate. We each have to find our own way and what we can live with for the long haul.

2. For some people completely doing without leads to feelings of deprivation, even if only psychologically..........and that can lead to binging and completely blowing this woe.............sometimes the moderate stance has merit.

We have to each find our own way.
