 Evidence That Intermittent, Excessive Sugar Intake Causes Endogenous Opioid Dependence |
Added on: 7/16/2002 | Hits: 466 |
| From Princeton University and the journal Obesity Research, 2002: In this very unusual study, researchers studied the effects of intermittent, excessive sugar intake on rats. They found that after repeated, excessive intake of sugar the rats responded to the withdrawal of sugar with reaction very similar to withdrawal from morphine or nicotine. The researchers concluded that the study is "suggesting that the rats had become sugar-dependent." |

| From Johns Hopkins and the journal Pediatrics & ScienceDaily.com, 2001: Johns Hopkins neurologists report that a rigorously high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet not only reduces the number of seizures in children with severe seizure disorders, but also keeps the frequency of attacks lower years after the diet is stopped. |
