    Sugar is highly addictive. I know from personal experience. I cannot just eat it in moderation. The only way I could kill the beast was by totally giving it up. There is research (look it up yourself) that sugar lights up the same pleasure centers in the brain as cocaine and other addictive substances.
    Also the same for cheese I believe.
    Turns out things we enjoy light up the same 'pleasure centres', be it food, puppies or drugs.

    That doesn't mean we should avoid things just because we enjoy them!

    Saying that; I mostly do avoid cheese for that very reason - I don't have the will power to control myself!
