I agree, only in that most/all sweet things don't give a feeling of satiety, as a steak or a bowl of oatmeal w/ fruit would.

However, there is a distinction. Most sweet things, such as a donut, don't last long in the belly, have little to no nutritional value and breakdown, absorb and metabolize quickly.

So, are we seeing a placebo effect? Something more mental than physical?
