Is sugar addictive?
Scientists studied what happens when we eat sugar and found that it activates dopamine, which is the same chemical activated when taking drugs such as cocaine. This has led to the idea that sugar is addictive, but while you may crave it, it's a bit of a stretch to say it is truly addictive.
The key is to first find the extra sugars hiding in your diet. 
Then retrain your tastebuds, which I recommend takes 28 days.
You will be amazed at how different your food tastes, and some of the "treats" you used to enjoy will taste overly sweet and artificial.
