“An astonishing 94 percent of rats who were allowed to choose mutually-exclusively between sugar water and cocaine, chose sugar. Even rats who were addicted to cocaine quickly switched their preference to sugar, once it was offered as a choice. The rats were also more willing to work for sugar than for cocaine.
The researchers speculate that the sweet receptors (two protein receptors located on the tongue), which evolved in ancestral times when the diet was very low in sugar, have not adapted to modern times'high-sugar consumption. Therefore, the abnormally high stimulation of these receptors by our sugar-rich diets generates excessive reward signals in the brain, which have the potential to override normal self-control mechanisms, and thus lead to addiction. “ www.mercola.com

It may be necessary to break the addiction cycle by completely avoiding sweetened products -to restore normal levels of the hormones INSULIN and LEPTIN, which play a role in keeping you addicted to sweets
Using the simple yet powerful Meridian Tapping Technique (MTT) helps overcome addiction
Exercise - particularly regular cardiovascular exercise seems to reduce food cravings, especially for sweets
Black coffee may reduce addictive power of sugar - in its role as a potent opioid receptor antagonist;both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee contain compounds such as cafestrol,which can bind to opioid receptors, blocking addiction to sugar and other opioid-releasing foods.
