Confectionaries include all fancy foods that tickle our sweet-tooth. Be it be donuts, cream rolls, pastries, chocolates and many more. We are guilty of indulging in these sugaries at least once!
These are full of refined sugar, refined flour and ingredients which harm us more than benefitting us. These foods are high on calories and low on nutrients and fiber-content.

The ill-effects of Sugar coated delicacies are:
Refined sugar forms a coat over our teeth and making them prone to decay and cavities
It also alters our sleep cycle, thus making us night-watching owls!
Also leads to many stress disorders, depressions, mania and anxiety.
Refined flour and sugar tend to pass out of our system fast thus arising the sense of hunger within short intervals of time, So we tend to have many high calorie meals, loading us with those extra pounds.

Obesity yet another health menace of the this century, this can lead to many issues like Heart strokes, Diabetes Mellitus and Hormonal imbalances

We are fortunate enough to have a good number of sweet substitutes, like fruit sugars – fructose and galactose and dry fruits can very well add sweetness to food!
