SUGAR has long been known to be bad for your health, exacerbating conditions like heart disease and type II diabetes. One of the most common problems are sugar addictions, which make their mark on our waistlines and give us peaks and troughs. Sugar addiction is comparable to some drugs in the way that it stimulates the release of dopamine from your brain, which makes you want more and more. This cycle creates a sugar dependency that temporary picks you up, but over the long term drops your health and wellbeing.
