Although it may be tempting, eating too much candy

can have a negative impact on your body and how you

feel. Munching on too much candy can cause cavities

you no nutrients, just fat and calories from sugar!

This can cause you to gain too much unhealthy weight.

Too much sugar can also cause you to have a “foggy”

brain, slowing down your memory and making you

tired.

Did you know that not all deserts are

hot? Both hot and cold deserts are very

Ice-cream is a delicious frozen treat that comes in a many different colors and flavors. Two of my favorite flavors are strawberry and chocolate. Though both of these flavors are delicious, strawberry may contain pieces of fruit while chocolate usually will not.

That's why people called Edison "The Wizard of Menlo Park," because they suspected him of witchcraft.
