When You Think of Breakfast, Think About These Breakfast Foods

[BellaEdward7]

Some people and few doctors classify sugar as a drug. As I'm sure you know, by now, sugar is addicting. In fact, there have been several studies showing rats becoming dependent on sugarThe SuperFood Detox Codeconsumption. If you have ever tried cutting out sugar I'm sure you know just how hard it is. Most people will get intense withdrawal symptoms ranging from headaches to mood swings. Similar withdraw symptoms are seen with removal of intake from stimulants such as coffee and methamphetamine. So is it a drug? Well, lets first define "Drug". Webster's definition shows:

Drug- something and often an illegal substance that causes addiction, habituation, or a marked change in consciousness.

Is sugar addicting? Yes. Is sugar habituation? Yes, did you have your daily soda or candy bar? Does sugar cause a change in consciousness? Yes, it makes you happy, right. So technically it could be classified as a drug. It some cases if it was abused you could classify it as a drug, it other cases it is an absolute necessity, so I am still on the fence if it is a drug or not. So, I'll let you decide, I'm here to give insight. However, I do know this; sugar was not made to be consumed in large quantities without fiber. Once again we have altered a natural occurring substance. We can't leave our food alone can we. You will see this genre come up quite a bit as we look at different food factors in the future. Stay tuned.

So far in this post we have discovered processed sucrose really has no nutritional value, just pure energy. Our bodies use this energy with nutrients and vitamins for proper functioning and cell restoration. But, thus far, we have failed to look at another negative aspect of sucrose. Cavities.

Sure dentists love sugar! It keeps them in business, without sugar we wouldn't have cavities and they, a job. Lets examine how sugar is used in the process of creating a cavity. When sucrose is ingested glycoproteins begin to adhere to your teeth. Soon after millions of bacteria (Streptococcus mutans) start to attach to the glycoproteins on your teeth. Then the bacteria begin using the fructose within the sucrose (remember sucrose is about half fructose and half glucose) to obtain energy. Lactic acid is then excreted from glycolysis (the metabolism process including streptococcus mutans and fructose). This increase in acid begins eating away at your tooth enamel, voila, the beginning of a cavity! Sounds fun, huh? Makes you really want to go out and eat a candy bar.
