I believe I can accurately describe my former self as a carb addict. This news is not new. We've known for a while that the opioid centers in the brain react to sugar-sweetened or heavily carbed processed foods in a similar way addicts do to drugs. It goes to reason that there is a signal to the brain when these foods are consumed. The real issue is how people use this knowledge and make adjustments to improve their health. I'd venture to state that most don't make the connection of the potential of early death due to consumption of a dangerous drug like sugar.
