I am binging on sugars. Am I Addicted to Sugar?
If you regularly craving for sweets, you are not alone. Consumers are more likely to develop sugar addiction because the more food we load with it.
If you regularly craving for sweets, you are not alone. Consumers are more likely to develop sugar addiction because the more food we load with it. The food tastes better and makes us come back again.
Unfortunately, this is very effective. The average American consumes around 20 teaspoons, or 80 grams of sugar a day, but women are advised to limit their added sugar intake to 6 teaspoons or 24 grams a day, and men, limiting to 9 teaspoons or 36 grams. On average it can rise easily, especially because of the amount of evidence that tells us that sugar has the potential to cause addiction like some street drugs, with the same effect on the brain.
So whether you track every nutrition label at the grocery store or wake up to the desire of the first donut that day, see where you landed on our sugar addiction scale.
