There’s that, but mostly because sugar signals the brain to release pleasant feeling chemicals and therefore is addictive through the same mechanism that stimulant drugs like nicotine are, so people are more inclined to want to eat more. Same with why they put caffeine in soda, it’s also addictive.
Sugar is in everything these days for this reason: including things like soup and bread where you don’t consciously taste it but it still affects your brain.

Thanks for the info. I have also heard that companies also add some other chemicals as well to make to food addictive.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
