Sugar and sugar foods are ...."ADDICTIVE." AND, they kill lots of people.

1. Like drugs, eating sugar activates dopamine levels, the "feel-good" hormone,

making you want to keep eating and craving sugary items.

A study in the January 2 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association looked at brain imaging scans after people ate one of two types of simple sugars—fructose or glucose. Researchers found that fructose, but not glucose, altered blood flow in areas of the brain that stimulate appetite. "When we take in high-fructose corn syrup and fructose, it stimulates appetite and causes us to eat more," Dr. Hauser says. So you want to especially limit foods containing high-fructose corn syrup (such as sodas and sweetened cereals).
