When you think of addiction, various illegal and harmful substances probably spring to mind … but not sugar.

Yes, you know that candy, cookies, soda, and your other favorite sweet treats aren’t the healthiest options – and sure, you may feel the urge to satisfy a craving once in a while – but there’s no way that sugar can totally hijack your life … right? Wrong. Believe it or not, sugar is highly addictive and acts on the pleasure center of the brain just like alcohol and heroin. In other words, the more you eat, the more you want. Combine sugar’s addictive nature with its omnipresence in our sweets-and-carbs- loving society and you have a recipe for a health disaster.

Today, the average American consumes more than 130 pounds of sugar each year, which your body isn’t designed to handle. As a result, the USA is plagued with high rates of obesity, diabetes, chronic fatigue, high cholesterol, metabolic syndrome, and much more – a very high price to pay for the sake of habit, preference, and convenience.

One of the first steps in decreasing your reliance on sugar is making smarter choices regarding the food you buy and eat. Also, remember that sugar doesn’t come only from sweet foods, but from anything containing corn syrup or refined carbohydrates. [From: Creationsmagazine.com]
