About This Quiz
For most people, desserts and sweet types of junk food are a quick way to satisfy a sugar craving. But for others, this type of craving can lead to a mild or severe form of addiction! Many different behavior traits are also associated with various types of sugar addictions, which may include mood swings, fatigue, increased hunger levels and, in more extreme cases, feelings of sadness and depression. In fact, some people even use sugar as a way to cope with stress.
Being a sugar addict isn't just about satisfying your sweet tooth, as it's also associated with the sensation of a "sugar rush." This is a feeling of increased happiness and energy that comes from eating foods that have a high amount of sugar in them. But be careful, though, because a sugar rush can often lead to a sugar crash. This is the polar opposite of a sugar rush, as this type of feeling is correlated to sadness, fatigue and an overall state of being sick or ill.Â
But as long as you enjoy sugar in small amounts, then you don't really have much to worry about! So for now, grab a small snack and take our sugary quiz to curb your sweet tooth!
