We all know that an addiction, food or otherwise, is generally not supportive of our overall well-being. Most people put smoking and drugs in this category, and occasionally coffee. But did you know one of the most addictive (and dangerous) substances known to man is actually sugar? Sugar changes our brain chemistry and seems to act on the same receptors in the brain as alcohol and drugs like morphine or heroin. Sugar is also linked to vast range of illnesses and disease (just Google it!) This is a sharp warning for parents or those with a sugar sensitivity – you’ll know it because consuming sugar will make you immediately feel good at for a short time as a result of your increased blood sugar. When the brain experiences this it craves more and the more sugar we eat, the more it wants. The only way to reverse this viscious cycle is to reduce sugar to the point of elimination and use non-sugar supplements such as Stevia.
