Sugar addiction is on the rise. People are addicted to sugar from a variety of ways, from consuming candy bars, sodas, butterfingers etc. The addicts knows that these cravings are not good for them, yet they cannot stop. They look in the mirror and they are unhappy with what they see. In addition to all the health hazards that comes with consuming too much sugar. At this point, we are all wary of how bad sugar is for our overall well-being, but it seems that we cannot ditch it anyway.

However, it is virtually impossible to avoid sugar, since it’s a common ingredient placed in nearly all foods that we consume on a daily basis. This helps to reinforce the addiction.

Excessive consumption of sugar increases the levels of dopamine the “feel good hormone” much the same as other drugs like cocaine, according to one study from Rivers State of University of Science and Technology (RSUST).

The researchers state that long-term consumptions of sugar will eventually prompt a reduction of dopamine levels. Hence, in order to avoid lenient states of depression and reach the same results, people need to consume even more sugar than usual, scientists explain.
