3:45Now PlayingNew research reveals that a dangerous drug, readily available on American streets, may be as addictive as heroin or cocaine. It's called sugar. Junk food, including potato chips and ice cream, has been found to be as addictive as nicotine, cocaine and even heroin, with over 14% of individuals affected.
This discovery is alarming, given the well-established links between such ultra-processed foods and cognitive decline, cancer, psychological distress and premature death. The defining criteria for this addiction include uncontrollable consumption, cravings and ongoing intake. Dr. Daniel Bober, an addiction medicine physician, provides further insights on "On Balance."
