Is Sugar a Drug?

Part B

The tough part is that sugar is hidden in so many foods where you would never expect to find it. Many foods
that don’t taste sweet are still turned into sugar after we eat them. Flour is the biggest example. Once flour gets
into your system, it is processed the same way that sugar is. This means eating foods like bread and pasta is
similar to eating sugar. Almost all processed foods are converted to sugar in the end. For this reason, Dr.
Hyman recommends avoiding them. That means throwing out any foods that come in a box, bottle, or can,
unless it is something very simple and natural like canned beans.

Trying to quit these foods can be difficult for some people. They’ve become so used to the sugar in these
foods, they must detox from them. They usually feel much better after a few weeks without sugar in their diet.
Still, they tend to feel under the weather while detoxing from sugar products.

Is your diet high in hidden sugar? If so, cutting out sweets and processed foods could make you much
healthier. It might be hard to give up some of your favorite foods, but you might feel a whole lot better without
them. What do you think, could you live a life without sugar?
