Well, maybe it’s number two after alcohol, but SUGAR has been linked to a number of negative health effects, including obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and tooth decay.

Sugar can be addictive because it activates the reward pathways in the brain, leading to feelings of pleasure and reward. When we eat sugar, our brains release dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter that is involved in the reward system. This can lead to cravings for sugar and the desire to eat more of it. Some studies have also suggested that sugar may have addictive properties similar to those of drugs of abuse, such as cocaine. However, more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between sugar and addiction.

To cut out sugar, it is imperative to read labels for any processed food. Look for added sugars on the ingredient list, such as sucrose, glucose, and high fructose corn syrup, and choose products that have less or no added sugars.
