One difficulty with sugar addiction is avoiding all the many foods that include it.
Foods with simple carbs -- white flour, for instance -- act exactly as sugar in the body. And just avoiding all the products with fructose or corn syrup seems impossible sometimes.
Does a sugar addiction act like other addictions after you quit? Meaning, with smoking or drinking, one cigarette or drink can take you back to all your addictive habits.
Is there a halfway point? A "moderation" point? Or is it all or nothing with someone who's truly addicted to sugar?
