Curbing sugar won't curb your sweet tooth, scientists say (opens in new tab)

Ugh. The point of curbing sugar is not that you will magically stop liking sugar.

Someone who successfully quit heroin is still someone who will very much experience pleasure if they use again.

The point of curbing sugar is that for some people, sugar’s interaction with their body tends to be self reinforcing - consuming some sugar creates conditions (mental or physical) that make it more likely you will consume more. By reducing or eliminating, and waiting for your body and mind to adjust to this change, you get to a point where it’s easier to control.

This seems like an interesting counterpoint to the common testimonials saying "I stopped excess sugar for a few days, and now even an apple is too sweet!"

It worked for me.

I like science.
