AgreementStrong agreement

Most discussions strongly support the idea that sugar has addictive qualities comparable to cocaine, citing scientific studies and emphasizing the biological evidence.

InterestHigh interest

Participants are highly engaged, referencing specific scientific studies, articles, and popular figures, indicating a strong interest in the topic.

EngagementHigh engagement

Many comments discuss research findings, share links, and even criticize or analyze the evidence, showing deep involvement with the subject.

ImpactHigh impact

The discussions could influence perceptions on food regulation, addiction treatment, and public health policies, highlighting the significance of the research findings.

Abstract in brief

  • The text discusses the comparison between sugar and addictive drugs like cocaine, highlighting that sugar and sweetness can produce feelings of reward and craving similar to drugs, supported by human and rat studies.
  • Research suggests that sugar can sometimes be even more rewarding than cocaine at both behavioral and neurobiological levels, with the brain's reward system for sugar being particularly strong and resistant to failure.
  • This biological robustness may explain why many people find it hard to control their intake of high-sugar foods, especially when exposed to them regularly, due to the powerful neural reward mechanisms involved.]

Sugar makes your brain release a rush of dopamine — the "feel good" chemical. That’s why you crave it when you're sad, stressed or bored. But the more you eat, the more you need to feel good. It’s a trap. https://t.co/a1Tm2kHVZ7

@KindaSortaMaebe Fun fact: Sugar is just as addictive as cocaine. The reason why it's hard to quit sugar is because it's highly addictive. HFCS is even more addictive because it has hidden sugars not counted on the nutritional details. https://t.co/c8MuLIe9fJ

@ValOccidentales @equusfred Mesure ce que tu bouffes et elimine 10-15% chaque trimestre. Un arret brutal te mets en mode cold turkey, surtout avec le sucre qui est aussi addictif que la cocaine et opiates https://t.co/LXppYcwC3D

@TheCut @v_solesmith @ericaschwie But when @v_solesmith advocates totally hedonistic indulgences into sugar addictions, it undermines her entire point. Sugar is more addictive to the brain than cocaine! https://t.co/4zVo0iQyDb

Give up things that make you weak, beware of them, and don't do them. Give up sugar. I will even say more, without any exaggeration, sugar is more addictive than cocaine, and this is not my personal opinion, it's scientific data. https://t.co/qOLfanyYeV

@EdLatimore That's exactly right. The science is clear. See for example this reference suggesting that sugar might be as addictive as cocaine (although the effects are, in some obvious ways, different). Complicating factor: clandestine sugar is everywhere. https://t.co/cNYbzbmsGw

@nicknorwitz Good one Nick. Most people don’t realize, but sugar has been shown to be highly addictive. In fact, some studies suggest that sugar might be as addictive as cocaine (see below). Just because it’s widespread doesn’t mean it’s OK. https://t.co/cNYbzbmsGw

@DraMaRoPalher "se requierán más estudios para concluir?" No creo que haya una recomendación diciendo "ud dele azúcares" Es un hecho que no hay beneficio conductual ni metabólico, aunque no sea causa componente para TDAH El azúcar puede inducir estados adictivos https://t.co/qZyGZU7h9n

As suggested by the title,Sugar addiction:pushing the drug-sugar analogy to the limit,the authors were on a mission “to review research that tests the validity of the analogy between addictive drugs,like cocaine & hyperpalatable foods, notably those high in added sugar (sucrose)”

Sugar addiction: pushing the drug-sugar analogy to the limit. RECENT FINDINGS (2013): Available evidence in humans shows that sugar and sweetness can induce reward and craving that are comparable in magnitude to those induced by addictive drugs. https://t.co/ZWG8ttZVcX
