Sugar is addictive to humans in the following way:
Explanation:
- Eating sugar releases dopamine and opioids in human bodies. This is the key link between sugar and addictive behaviour.
- Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is a chief part of the reward circuit-related with addictive behaviour.
- When certain conduct causes an extra release of dopamine, we feel a pleasing high that we are motivated to re-experience, and so repeat the conduct.
- As we repeat that behaviour more and more, our brain attunes to release less dopamine.
- The only method to feel the exact “high” as before is to repeat the behaviour in increasing frequency and amount.
