It made me remember a scene from the documentary Food Matters. One of the interviewees was talking about how addictive sugar is. She made a comment along the lines of “giving kids sugar is like rolling up their sleeve and injecting them with heroin”.

This way of talking about food, particularly sugar and processed food, is becoming more common place. But is it true? Is sugar so addictive that when you have it you become powerless to its pull? Does eating fast food get you hooked like a heroin addict?

This week’s podcast is all about cravings and food addiction. It’s a topic I’m very passionate about because I think there are a lot of misconceptions around the idea. And not just with food addiction, but with drug addiction as well.

Thanks for Listening!
