On Today’s Episode –  Today’s episode is less about politics and more about your health. Our guest today is Dr. Nicole Avena, a returning guest to the show. Mark gives us a little history about Nicole’s CV, and then dives right in.  If sugar was discovered today, it might be a controlled substance. It would be less known as food, and more like a drug. Sugar is no different than other street drugs except it is pervasive and more accepted. Nicole tells us a little about the addictive nature of sugar. Humans evolved to like the taste of sweet. We relate sweetness with safety and health. We need to stop using sugar as a reward and treat it more like a drug that harms us. When we look at the data, the average human consumes about 22 teaspoons of sugar per day. The Doctors talk a myriad of topics related to how. You can help yourself get. Rid. Of sugar in your diet. Tune in for all the conversation. https://sugarless.drnicoleavena.com/  https://www.amazon.com/Sugarless-Uncover-Cravings-Conquer-Addiction/dp/1454947802/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1707325170&sr=1-1
