Many people love sweets and desserts, but eating them can cause different problems. Every afternoon, Laura visits the small bakery down the street. She usually buys crunchy chocolate cookies or a slice of strawberry cake. Eating sugary food makes her feel happy when she is tired from school. However, her brother Tom has to be very careful because he has diabetes. His body cannot process sugar well, so he avoids chocolate bars and sweet lollipops. If he eats too much candy, his blood sugar goes up and he feels very sick. Instead, Tom chooses sugar-free snacks or fresh fruit when he wants a treat. Their dentist also warns both children that sticky sweets can cause cavities in their teeth. Sugar tastes delicious, but it can create real health challenges for a family.
