Is Sugar the New Tobacco? Experts Debate the Addictive Nature of Sweet Treats

Sugar: The New Tobacco? A recent video report by G1 News explores the growing concern over sugar addiction. Experts interviewed for the segment debate whether the addiction is purely behavioral or has a chemical component. The report highlights the alarming prevalence of sugar in processed foods and connects chronic sugar consumption to a range of health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and even Alzheimer's. "The responsible for the addition is only the pleasant taste of sweet foods, not its high sugar content." stated Octavian Vasiliu, psychiatrist at Carol Davila University. The video concludes by suggesting a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy and dietary education as a means of managing sugar consumption. The report underscores the need for increased awareness of sugar's potential health consequences.
