We are programmed to #lovesugar that is because during our hunter gatherer days sweet foods were also safe foods, there was no poisonous foods that were sweet.
It has been shown that you need to give an infant a savoury food about thirteen times before they like the flavour and just once for them to like a sweet food! 👼🏻
The drug addiction of sugar is actually more powerful than cocaine and the food manufacturers know this and that’s why most of our processed foods are loaded with sugar.
According to the 2007 Bordeaux University research study, refined sugar is far more addictive than cocaine one of the most addictive and harmful substances currently known.
