The Other Side Of Sweet Tooth

Tweet

I thought this might be interesting to share for those that seem to have a sudden inexplicable sweet tooth. According to studies after studies that sugar is addictive, a recent research at Yale University has revealed that some of these addictions which are being caused by eating ‘bad’ carbohydrates such as sweets and biscuits, affect the part of the brain controlling impulse. This loss of self control is responsible for the burgeoning global obesity epidemic. However, there's more than it meets the eye here when part of this craving is related to some underlying medical condition which is unbeknown to us. Dr Jacob Teitelbaum in his book, "Beat Sugar Addiction Now!PDr Jacob Teitelbaum in his book, Beat Sugar Addiction Now!" - describes sugar addiction as the ‘canary in the coal mine’, saying it often points to an undiagnosed problem such as failing adrenal glands or even too much ‘bad’ bacteria in the gut. He identified four types of sugar addiction. He says they are triggered by different causes, from hormonal changes to infections. 1. Thyroid Failure 2. Yeast Infection 3. Adrenaline Overload 4. Menopause or Pre-Menstrual Tension (PMT) I am sure you do not need me to dwell on the consequences of each of these conditions and effects it will have on us. So, I would suggest that you be careful when you have another craving for sugary foods or drinks - believe me, it is unwise to give in and satisfy it. Doing so would just be bringing upon ourselves something even more considerable to our health. So, cutback or better still keep away from that cookie jar or tumbler of ice cream before you regret it. Take care. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2042182/Could-sweet-tooth-warning-sign-youre-ill.html
