Abstract in brief

Excessive sugar consumption is driven by changes in the brain's reward system, similar to addiction, which encourages overeating even when energy needs are met.
Sugar intake can alter the normal hunger and fullness signals, leading to continued eating despite large amounts of food that threaten the body's balance — contributing to issues like obesity.
The review highlights that mechanisms promoting addictive-like behaviors and overriding protective neuroendocrine signals are central to how excessive sugar consumption becomes a persistent problem.

https://t.co/vdZjmiwOdD Sugar is addicting. Same obfuscation as with cigarettes. Whatever term is used is irrelevant but the checkout lanes of all drug and food stores are 99% sweets and gossip for a reason. Add 0.9% for the fixtures. https://t.co/l64Snvi4y1
