However, eating sugary foods too often can be harmful to health for several reasons. Sweet, sticky foods, such as ice lollies, or snacks and pastries prepared with pleanty of sugar, honey or syrup, are bad for the teeth if eaten often.

People who often eat sugary foods and consume sweet drinks such as sodas (bottled fizzy drinks) are more likely to become overweight and to develop diabetes. These people also often eat less of other, more nutrient-rich foods. There is much sugar in sweets (candy), lollies, sodas, jam and sweet cakes and biscuits.
