When you eat
something loaded with sugar, your taste buds, your gut and your brain all take
notice. This activation of your reward system is not unlike how bodies process
addictive substances such as alcohol or nicotine -- an overload of sugar spikes
dopamine levels and leaves you craving more. Nicole Avena explains why sweets
and treats should be enjoyed in moderation.
