Addicted to sugar…aren’t we all?

I subscribe to so many e-newsletters it’s hard to keep up! But one of my favorites is GOOP – written by Gwyneth Paltrow. I was just going through some of my old GOOP newsletters, and came across this one about Overcoming Sugar Addiction. Gwyneth highlights some of the side-effects of too much sugar. According to GOOP:

“Today, over a third of the calories we consume come from sugar or white flour, which is highly refined and acts just like sugar in our system. Our bodies cannot cope with such an enormous load. Sugar gives you an initial high, then you crash, then you crave more, so you consume more sugar. It’s this series of highs and lows that provoke unnecessary stress on your adrenals. You get anxious, moody (sugar is a mood-altering drug) and eventually you feel exhausted.”
