In the past, desserts were luxury items for common people. Simply being able to eat them was sweet enough. Plus, sugar was expensive, and having too much of it was truly unaffordable. It's not that the people of Huaxia naturally dislike sweet things.
Sugar can stimulate the brain to secrete neurotransmitters like dopamine and endorphins, which help regulate mood and relieve stress.
Sugar can also quickly provide energy, helping the brain resist negative emotions. Through sensory stimulation like sight, smell, and taste, it influences emotions and perceptions, leading to feelings of pleasure and satisfaction.
Wang Fan believed this was the fundamental reason why Western desserts rapidly occupied a large market share once they entered the scene.
