re: sugar addiction after alcohol addiction...
The gene for a predisposition for alcoholism is also linked to sugar addiction. The neurobiological pathways of drug and "sugar addiction" involve similar neural receptors, neurotransmitters, and hedonistic regions in the brain.
I have a whole family of addicts, and I'm not addicted to drugs or alcohol, but I for sure have a sugar addiction that I am working on, day by day.
