No SUGAR!
I don’t believe that sugar is more addictive than cocaine (or heroin, or alcohol).
I can have something with sugar without relapsing, like a cocaine addict (or an alcoholic) would. And from what I’ve seen of withdrawal symptoms from those other substances, sugar withdrawal is nowhere near as traumatic.
The hardest part of abstaining from sugar is that it’s all around us, all the time. And we’ve never been told how truly bad it is. Who knows where we’d be today if sugar had been as demonized as fat has been for the past 60 years or so.
Medically sugar has been proven to be addictive. Now as to whether or not THIS addictive I’m not sure but it is addictive. YOU may be one of those people that simply is not addicted to it much like me vs the alcoholic. I drank for years…a lot and never became an alcoholic but I can tell you that for sure that I was addicted to sugar. Even now I can tell when I’ve ingested sugar because my cravings allmof a sudden spike and I think about having something sweet just like an alcoholic does for alcohol. I don’t say this flippantly since I was a substance abuse facilitator while In the Army and I saw the same behaviors in myself and in others when it came to sugar addiction that I did in alcoholics and/or drug abusers.
Now I did find others that say the opposite YET when you follow the money you find that they are in bed with big sugar, or big grain, or big Pharma. Very hard to find ANY studies that disprove sugar addiction that is NOT funded by one of those entities which means that they will probably come to a conclusion that supports no addiction while the ones that I posted seem to NOT be funded by those or other entities. I guess that we will see
Lastly and NOT disputed by even the authors of studies contrary to belief in sugar addiction is:
- Neuroscientists have shown, using fMRI to scan the brain’s activity in real-time, that sugar leads to dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens – an area associated with motivation, novelty, and reward. This is the same brain region implicated in response to cocaine and heroin.Feb 5, 2013
I used to do a couple of liters of it a day… but I could handle it… I could stop any time I wanted
