Scientists have discovered a hormone which suppresses the sweet tooth, which they call FGF21. This hormone is produced in the liver as a response to high carbohydrate levels. When it enters the blood stream, it tells your brain to stop craving sweets. Oddly, it does not suppress the craving for complex carbs, like cake or pastries.
When I crave sweets, I don't go to the kitchen for a spoonful of
sugar. If it doesn't block the craving for cake or pastries and other complex carbs, I'm not exactly sure what cravings it
does block ... so I'm gonna call this one a big fat
fail.
Personally, I have my own cure for sugar cravings ... it's call a cookie!
