Scientists of the Institute of Cardiovascular System in Kansas found that sugar is even more addictive than opioid drugs, as evidenced by the results of experiments conducted in rats. This is reported by the Daily Mail with reference to the study. "The consumption of sugar produces an effect similar to the effect of cocaine - a change in mood with the ability to cause a sense of satisfaction and pleasure," - quotes the authors of the study. At the same time, the researchers added that with abstinence from the use of sugar, symptoms may appear, among them depression and behavioral disorders. "It turned out that the lack of dopamine in the brain in periods between the consumption of sugar can lead to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder," says the report of the Institute's workers. Recall, previously reported that regular use of alcohol reduces the risk of diabetes.
