Addicted to Sugar? Though the concept of "food addictions" is controversial, this fMRI study suggests that a diet high in refined sugars/carbs can create carvings similar to the ones seen in other "drug" addictions. One outcome of these carvings is overeating, in the short term, and obesity, in the long term. This finding may be of particular value to parents who wish to improve health outcomes for their children.
