At what point do we become addicted to sugar?
Abstract
In 1991, Dr. Arnold M. Washton, a drug specialist in the Department of Psychiatry at Lenox Hill Hospital, published his book " Willpower is not enough" in which he mentions, according to his research, the phases through which an addict goes through from the moment he starts using a drug until he completely destroys his life; on this occasion, sugar is presented in isolation as the substance reflected in each addictive phase. Although glucose is the molecule that all our cells require to carry out their functions and to keep us alive, it is important to see how excessive consumption of sugar in different forms can cause irreversible problems.
