Why do we love sugar so much?
Many scientists believe our love of sugar may
actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary
foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of
our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling
goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do
this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this
way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors
recommend we all cut down on.
"It seems like every time I study an illness and
trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to
sugar," says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of
adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to
347 million have diabetes. Why? "Sugar, we believe, is
one of the culprits, if not the major culprit," says Johnson.
Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early
humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very
efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored for
when there was no food. But today, most people have more than
enough. So, the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us.
So, what is the solution? Obvious that we need to eat less sugar.
The trouble is, in today's world, it's extremely difficult to avoid. From
breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly
filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in
foods that are advertised as low in fat.
But there are those who are fighting back
against sugar. Many schools are replacing
sugary desserts with healthier options like
fruit. Other schools are growing their own
food in gardens, or building facilities like
walking tracks so students and others in the
community can exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.
