Are you a SUGAR ADDICT?!?! Researcher studies show that cocaine-addicted mice actually preferred sugar-water as a reward over cocaine. This intense euphoria from sugar consumption can be a powerful driving factor in us reaching for it often and obsessively. Sugar encourages the body to release opioids and dopamine. It has an actual effect on your body chemistry, and your body likes that. So it wants more. And more. And when the chemical lending the effects is taken away,  it goes into withdrawal!  It’s not uncommon to experience headaches, fatigue, mood swings, and other detox affect as you come off sugar. But behold that it will be a short term consequence for LONG term health benefits!!! DITCH THE SUGAR!!!
