Many people are unaware that excessive sugar consumption can lead to consequences very similar to drug abuse.

Mr. Blum explained that excessive sugar consumption can trigger acute dopamine release.

“It’s like abusing alcohol or other drugs of abuse,” he said.

Over time, that can result in a chronic decrease in dopamine levels. Consequently, individuals may seek larger quantities of sugar to experience the same level of pleasure, eventually leading to an addictive state where they consume more and more.
