Do you have trouble saying no to that second (or third, or fourth) cup of coffee every day? Or how about that vending machine, or breakroom at work…can you walk by without indulging in a sugary midday pick-me-up? I’ve been there. I would keep reaching for more chips and salsa, more coffee, or more chocolate; anything that would satisfy that unrelenting craving. Sugar is virtually unavoidable in our culture. It often hides behind cryptic, unrecognizable names (anhydrous dextrose, anybody?), and lurks in almost every pre-packaged, processed food in the grocery store. What’s scary is how seriously addicted we are to this substance that wreaks havoc on our bodies!
