Now if review one major aspect that is being under discussion by the people is the “sugar controversy “declaring sugar as an addiction like any other drug heroine, morphine or codeine. http://jn.nutrition.org/content/139/3/623.
In early times sugar was taken as a pleasure of life and with passage of time it became a need for people and dependency on the product increased making its use in not just food items but also medicines.
According to the reports by [WHO] world health organization and [FHO] food agriculture organization sugar is the bone of contention for the overweight, obesity and chronic diseases and it should be rationed like cigarettes and drugs. http://cip.cornell.edu
The American institute of intrusion conducted a research to prove that human’s diet consist of various supplements like sugar and fats which can have an influence on the brain and behavior as it is said “you are what you eat”. Consumption of sugar affects the mesolimbic dopamine causing it to release excessive DA which is basically a pathway in brain that is connected to the feelings and reward system letting the person to develop the urge for more sugar which is commensurable to the situation in the use of drugs or alcohol. http://jn.nutrition.org/content/139/3/623.
To elucidate or clarify the stance this research is supported by some significant test carried on animals which provide with the evidences that the substances in sugar have the same level of addiction that is usually caused by drugs and alcohol. Any food that delivers pleasant taste has the element of producing brain opioids and dopamine for the limbic system. ( Carlo Colantuoni1, Pedro Rada1,2,
