Sugar's Addiction

                    

You've heard it before and I'm sure you'll hear it again. Nevertheless, don't plead ignorance when it comes to sugar.
 
It's important to read and understand the implications in this compelling evidence of sugar's addictive qualities and why it is imperative you steer clear (or limit your intake) of them.
Lab animals, in Hoebel's experiments, that were denied sugar for a prolonged period after learning to binge worked harder to get it when it was reintroduced to them. They consumed more sugar than they ever had before, suggesting craving and relapse behavior. Their motivation for sugar had grown. "In this case, abstinence makes the heart grow fonder," Hoebel said...

..."It's a little bit like missing breakfast," Hoebel said. "As a result, they quickly eat some chow and drink a lot of sugar water." And, he added, "That's what is called binge eating -- when you eat a lot all at once -- in this case they are bingeing on a 10 percent sucrose solution, which is like a soft drink."

...In experiments, the researchers have been able to induce signs of withdrawal in the lab animals by taking away their sugar supply. The rats' brain levels of dopamine dropped and, as a result, they exhibited anxiety as a sign of withdrawal. The rats' teeth chattered, and the creatures were unwilling to venture forth into the open arm of their maze, preferring to stay in a tunnel area. Normally rats like to explore their environment, but the rats in sugar withdrawal were too anxious to explore.
If you feel a tendency to crave (or want) sugar or other carbohydrates such as grains, cereals, or bread stop and think about your goals. Feeling a need for carbs. may be a sign of sugar addiction and at this point you have to make a choice. Either give in to your addiction and say good-bye to your health goal or choose to supply your body with the protein, healthy fats, fruits, and vegetables required to sustain life.
