On Today's Episode -
Today's episode is less about politics and more about your health. Our guest today is Dr. Nicole Avena, a returning guest to the show. Mark gives us a little history about Nicole's CV, and then dives right in.
If sugar was discovered today, it might be a controlled substance. It would be less known as food, and more like a drug. Sugar is no different than other street drugs except it is pervasive and more accepted. Nicole tells us a little about the addictive nature of sugar. Humans evolved to like the taste of sweet. We relate sweetness with safety and health. We need to stop using sugar as a reward and treat it more like a drug that harms us.
When we look at the data, the average human consumes about 22 teaspoons of sugar per day. The Doctors talk a myriad of topics related to how. You can help yourself get. Rid. Of sugar in your diet.
Tune in for all the conversation.
