Heroin Addiction: How Is Sugar Compared to Heroin?
by blythe_d
Why is sugar so bad for our health? How is sugar compared to heroin? Sugar is pure chemical and (like heroin) has been
stripped of all the natural food
nutrition it originally had in the plant itself. Heroin and sugar are arrived at by very similar processes of refinement. In
producing heroin, the opium is
first extracted from the poppy. The opium is then refined into morphine. The chemists then work on the morphine and refined
it into heroin. This
discovery was supposed to be a wonderful new non-addictive pain-killer.
How familiar is this? Sugar seemed to be safe but… read on. Starting with sugar in the baby formula, people not only
develop a strong taste for sugar but an intence craving that never ends. Sugar is very addictive. There are side effects when
taking it out of your diet. Think about how you are.
For Example
Take sugar out of someone’s diet for a few days just like if you take heroin out of a heroin addicts life just watch as bad
moods and flaring tempers
surface, as well as cravings, now are you starting to see how sugar and heroin are so similar.
Though getting rid of a sugar-habit like heroin can be tough it is well worth doing. It’s not easy. It takes about 5 days for
your body to cleanse sugar from
it’s system and stop you from craving it so much.
Research conducted on rats at Princeton University showed that rats that ate and ingested large amounts of sugar showed a
change in their brain similar to
the changes found in cocaine users or heroin addicts. Another research study found that 94% of rats allowed to pick between
sugar water and cocaine, chose
sugar. Even rats that were cocaine addicts quickly switched over to sugar as their drug of choice, When the rats were
deprived of their sugar fix just like when herion addicts are taken away from their herion fix, they showed signs of anxiety,
behavioral depression, and a drop in dopamine levels.
You may have experienced this to some degree in experimenting with your own diet when eliminating sugar “cold turkey.” Just
like when you quit smoking or
quit heroin you should do it slowly.
After two weeks or so, your body will adjust to the idea that refined sugar is not going to be onboard any longer and you’ll
start noticing some positive
changes. Your skin will look tighter and more clear, your joints should not feel so creaky, you’ll have more real energy,
you’ll sleep better, and
emotionally all the ups and downs should level out. Best of all, you won’t feel the need to jump in the car at midnight to
hit the nearest drive-thru for a
late night ice cream cone or chocolate shake!
About one of the only things that we in the health world agree upon is that sugar is bad for you. Check out any diet or
cleanse. It either eliminates or
drastically reduces the intake of sugar, regardless of the theory
So what should we do instead if we have a major sweet tooth. Peaceful of harmful sugar substitutes. That would be like
quitting heroin by smoking
cigarettes. Yes your not doing heroin anymore but own you just picked up another nasty habit. Do your research. Why not pick
something that your body creates
naturally? Why not pick something that’s in the good foods we eat. Like Xylitol. Do your research on xylitol. Just google it
and we also have tons of facts
and recipes on our site. Thank You – xylitolfresh.com
