When Sweet Becomes Sour
What if the thing you turn to for comfort is actually your worst enemy? For decades, you've blamed yourself-your lack of willpower, your weakness, your inability to stick to yet another diet. But here's a truth that might shake you: the problem was never you. It was Sugar all along, manipulating your brain chemistry like an abusive partner who charms you one moment and destroys you the next. This isn't about vanity or fitting into smaller jeans-it's about recognizing that Sugar operates like a drug, hijacking your neural pathways and keeping you trapped in a cycle of craving, shame, and relapse. The evidence is staggering: Sugar intake has doubled since 1950 while obesity rates have quadrupled. Food companies have engineered a "bliss point"-that perfect combination of sweetness, fat, and salt designed to override your body's natural fullness signals. You're not failing diets; diets are failing you because they never address the real culprit behind your food obsession.
