Is sugar a drug?

[Pus and Mucus]

It's sure addictive for something that isn't.

 

[STIGGY]

I would say so
Look up how many teaspoon are in a 12oz coke
I was addicted to soda (sugar) and it caused all kinds of problems as you get older
Just like smokes the companies made them to be habit forming to make more money off the Sheeple.

IMO sugar is a drug,,,and not a very good one ,,,I used to drink a 12 pack of coke every day ,,,when I quit drinking soda I got real bad head aches for about a week ,,,but I think that was caffeine withdrawal more then sugar ,,,

I agree Ziggy
I was addicted myself and so was my older sister
I was a 2 liter a day man, and she was a six pack like you (pretty close 72oz compared to 67.62ozs for my bottle)
So yes I had withdrawls just like you.
I use to drink the coke for my headaches it was very hard to quit.
My sister to this day allows herself one can a day
seems to work for her, I can not touch it, it is like crack candy to me.
I start and can not stop.

No. But I won't sign a piece of paper saying that. lol. Fresh food is the best, everything else has sugar in it, and I mean everything.

 

[Capt. Stabby]

Oh... I forgot to say hi to the OP. High!

 

[STIGGY]

Soylent Green is People

 

[Pus and Mucus]

Soylent Green is People

Even Soylent Green would be delicious with enough sugar on it. Aspartame sucks.

 

[Pus and Mucus]

Oh... I forgot to say hi to the OP. High!

Back at ya.

 

[Capt. Stabby]

rotflmao! I say true on that. They put sugar in hot sauce. Maybe it is a drug? lol If you take my business model for example, first one is free.

 

[Capt. Stabby]

Remember the soylent green, stigman? of course you do. lol.

 

[bluegrasser]

If its agreed that sugar is a mood altering substance then it should follow that sugar is a drug.

 

[STIGGY]

Lets see I use to drink sweet sodas and eat candy to relieve my Bad headaches and it worked well because of the sugar , I believe it may therefore qualify as a drug,

Drug-

The medical and legal definition of addiction has changed over the last 20 years or so . Twenty years ago to be addicted - you must need to increase the dose to produce the same effects. This is why cigarette companies could argue that they weren't addicting.

That being said. There are 3 grams of ' sugar ' in a cup of cabbage. If you are fighting cancer with a diet, you might know that. ( Cancer loves sugar )
I think we eat about a hundred and fifty pounds of sugar a year. I probably ate 250. The worst kind too Hostess Donnetts, ding dongs twinkies ( when hostess went bankrupt and then came back the whipped cream was even better. Candy bars everytime from Home Depot checkout .
I would probably say that after 50 years I was addicted
Speach class in College - I gave a speach on eating do nuts.

Moms love candy . Chocolate- the magic formula half fat half sugar

My Mother was addicted to sugar sodas and candies just like I was . so maybe it is all hereditary.

I've been a recovering Alcohol, sober for 30 years. I gave up tobacco 6 years ago. I gave up cocaine in the 80s. I've been on water only for 5 years. But I am now, and always have been, fat. I'm such a sugar junkie, I am now an insulin dependent type 2 diabetic.
