Your bodily fluids maintain something called electrolytic status. This means that the fluids have things like salt dissolved in them at a certain concentration that effects an 'activity equilibrium' among all the possible things that can be dissolved in it. When you eat a sweet you throw the fluids in your mouth way out of equilibrium and so you are under a great compulsion to restore it. You can do this by drinking a whole lot of water.
