Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice

What do you know about the sweetest food in the world? Aside from they are very sweet, children love them and they can cause tooth decay, here are some interesting and cool facts you might not know about about them.
Have you seen or eaten a cotton candy? Despite of its effects on the teeth, it was co-invented by a dentist. That is right folks a person who is mostly against candies. His name is Dr. Morrison. Cotton candy is not only food he was able to invent. He also patented various food discoveries in the food industry.
During Halloween, candies are attraction to kids. Every year, people in America would purchase almost 600 million pounds of candy just for the special occasion for kids. Peak of candy sales every year is October 28. Chocolate is the preferred sweet not only for children but also for adults and teenagers. The top selling candy was Candy Corn and one of the most search candy product in google.  Other famous candy products are snickers, Kitkat and M&Ms.
Your dentist would probably tell your mom and dad that it is better to stuff the kids with candies than eat them slowly over a period of time. The reason behind it is because of several reasons. For example, if you eat 5 chocolate bar at one time then your mouth will salivate more and it will be able to control the harmful chemicals or acids of the food. If you eat 1 in every hour, then the tendency is there is more acid than saliva. One obvious reason is that when you eat them at once, you will most likely brush your teeth as soon as you are done eating. I hope you still have candies with you and you didn't eat them all in one Halloween night! 
Trick or Treat!
