\u201cSugar is the new crack cocaine!\u201d

Yeah, people are actually saying that these days.

They're telling us that sugar is as addictive as cocaine, and the more we eat, the more likely we are to get fat, sick, and, ultimately, dead.

It sounds bad. Really bad.

How true is it, though?

Does every dessert we eat push us a little further down the slippery slope of disease and dysfunction, and make it ever harder to claw our way back to optimal health and vitality?
Can we develop a \u201csugar dependence\u201d in the same way we can become physically dependent on alcohol, cocaine, or heroin?

Can it get so bad that we can experience legitimate withdrawal symptoms if we stop eating sugar?

Well, the short answer is this:

The \u201caddictive properties\u201d of sugar are being grossly exaggerated by many mainstream diet and health "gurus."

Yes, it\u2019s tasty and pleasurable, and yes, many people might think they're addicted to it, but as you\u2019ll soon see, that doesn\u2019t make for a valid medical condition.

Likewise, most discussions of \u201csugar withdrawal\u201d are equally bogus.

In fact, the absence of genuine withdrawal symptoms, like those seen with hard drugs, is one of the dead giveaways that sugar doesn't warp our brains in the same ways.

So, if you\u2019re ready to learn the truth about sugar withdrawal, and what constitutes a real addiction and what doesn't, then you want to listen to this podcast.
