When you eat something loaded with sugar, your taste buds, your gut and your brain all take notice. This activation of your reward system is not unlike how bodies process addictive substances such as alcohol or nicotine -- an overload of sugar spikes dopamine levels and leaves you craving more. Nicole Avena explains why sweets and treats should be enjoyed in moderation.

Trust me sugar addiction is real...i somehow feel like it's my responsibility to finish all the sweets that are lying around in my house.
Me too
I don't get it. If you wanna eat sugar, then eat it and stop being weird.
My parents keep buying candy for me after I tell them not to
@@BrooklyFire And what's wrong with that
?
@@TheAbsoluteProduction What wrong with that? So if you said you're trying to be healthy but your parents bought tons of chocolate and ice cream and kept desserts where you keep your food you'd be okay with that? Parents are supposed to teach their kids valuable lessons, not feed their child's addiction.
"Drugs like alcohol" I love that you said that. People still think it's not dangerous, while it's a drug the same as others.
The same is true about nicotine. Most smokers sincerely believe they just have a "bad habit" and become very surprised when told they are actually drug addicted.
I wonder what would happen when you consume a lot of turkey (downer) and a lot of sugary drink (upper) in one sitting. Would you get high just like when one takes a sleeping cough medicine and a non-drowsy cough medicine few hours later
The truth many do not want to believe
It’a so much worse than people even think considering new studies show there is no such thing as a safe amount of alcohol
Virtually no one thinks alcohol and nicotine arent drugs. Talk to people instead of making up fairy tales about how much more knowledgeable you are compared to others.
It's really hard to stop. The addiction is real..
Oh yes, hahah
Oh poor kid
No
4:43 “A wedge of cake wont hurt you”. Thats how we all started long ago.
She means as long as you control it. Like your carving won't be as strong as it was when you ate sugary foods on a daily basis after eating that piece of cake
Sugar industry is trying to repeat the advertising moves of alcohol corporations. "One glass of wine in the evenings didn’t hurt anyone, it won’t make you an alcoholic" ( wrong )
Misquoted
Well, it won't. That is, if you don't eat more (which is easier said than done).
Yep
I gave up eating anything with processed sugar 15 years ago. That means no cookies, no cakes, no soft drinks or smoothies. The only sweet things I eat are fruits and I feel very active. It takes discipline but you get used to it.
but how do you do it because isn’t there processed sugar in so many meals you buy in the supermarket? Like bread, tomato sauce, yogurt etc.
@@livbxr once you start to live without sugar, you can cut those foods easily. :)
@@livbxr I eat very selectively. I usually only eat home made food. Even tea and coffee I drink without sugar. I dont eat honey or fruit juices either, just fresh fruits. Nothing with added sugar, not even yogurt. No white bread etc. Also only eat foods with low GI.
@@TheSlimmshadyy okay tysm I’ll try these things but I feel like it’ll be very hard not to eat any junk food occasionally :)
And now I'm going to quit sugar...
The best way that I can describe sugar withdrawal is that it feels kind of like when you are extremely thirsty, and feel a great urge to drink water.
Sugar withdrawal is similar to that - kind of like you are "thirsty for sugar" - and this is definitely quite unpleasant to go through during the first couple days.
Or months.
Very accurate. That's exactly how I also describe sugar withdrawals. It almost turns into a physical need after you don't eat for some time.
Yes, similar description for drug addiction. But magnified. The brain and body adapt to the presence of a substance, wiring itself to function with it, and when that substance is missing the body urges the person to seek it, because now the system is out of whack. In essence it adopts the substance as its own, forms strong attachments, which becomes it's new reality. Pretty amazing process actually, and it permeates everything in our lives, these adoptions/integrations and attachments. Even non physical things. But there is an optimal balance for our evolutionary make-up, which is something we must obey, and many attachments we have are not beneficial for it. It's like a piano playing a beautiful song, and someone randomly adding an off note, or many. Eventually you may get used to the sound but at it's core it is distorting the fundamental structure of the song.
There is no significant withdrawal symptoms from the cessation of chronic sugar intake - you are ridiculous and misleading by saying otherwise.
@@AA-le3xe Of course sugar causes withdrawal symptoms;
sugar causes large increases in dopamine levels, and this is similar to the effect of actual drugs.
I have been addicted to sugar on a few different occasions, and it feels extremely unpleasant when I try to stop eating sugar completely;
in fact, it is so unpleasant that I have had to gradually decrease the amounts in small steps per day, because an immediate complete withdrawal makes me feel a huge "thirst for sugar", which will just make me end up eating even more sugar after a while.
What do you call that, if not "withdrawal symptoms"?
Am I _" not actually"_ feeling those withdrawal symptoms, even though they make me feel very frustrated and uncomfortable?
That doesn't makes any sense.
To those struggling with the effects of sugar like myself, I hope you find balance. It’s not easy at all.
You can't find balance. And that's why you keep eating it. It means you got or getting addicted to sugar. If that's the case then you need to treat sugar like any other drug. Abstinence(not moderation)is the solution for drug addiction. But if you believe that you are among some of those people who can take a few bites of dessert and stop or eat it occasionally then you can enjoy sugary treats. Else you are going to feel like a failure. And that's not your fault.
@@luckycharm1212 I could not agree MORE!!!! An alcoholic can’t drink in moderation, so why do is sugar addicts think we can just have ‘balance’. It might work for some, and by some, I mean 1% lol. You really do have to have an ‘All or nothing’ mindset with getting rid of sugar. There is no ‘sugar on the weekends’ or ‘sugar at special events’ bc for some that’s just a rabbit hole and it leads to binging. All it takes is that one piece of cake or that one cookie and BOOM you’re sucked in again. It’s a very VERY viscous cycle. As someone who is overcoming a binge eating disorder, I find that not eating sugar and bread keeps me from going off the edge. I love fruits! I eat them a few times a week! As for things with added sugars, for my health and my sanity I plan to never eat them again!
Sugar causes disbalance.
You guys are ridiculous, talking as if sugar was a schedule 1 drug with significant withdrawal symptoms - fine distinctions make all the difference.
Me: Put 2.5 spoons of sugar into tea.
Me: Watch the video.
Me: Put 2.49 spoons of sugar into tea.

@@Darkseid.of.Apokolips Sorry, I forgot to ask your opinion, barnaclehead.
Why not try coconut almond milk? Very little sugar and you won't feel deprived.
Or a combo of half sugar half stevia. Stevia has a weird aftertaste. So I cut it with a bit of sugar.
When you stop eating sugar for about a month, you stop craving it. I personally don't even enjoy sweet tasting things anymore; it's amazing how we just crave what we eat on a regular basis.
+aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa For those of us that have given up sugar completely, we do crave the good fats and we eat them all the time, dear.
+aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa define regular basis in general terms and define regular basis for the cerebral cortex. isn't it possible to crave whilst abstaining in order to reduce or halt consumption? self-control, willpower, disicipline and focus, to name a few, are characteristics that can help enable change if or when necessary (even in the midst of somatization, to an extent). unless it's a medical or severe somatic problem.
its true. Once you 'understand' the negative effects of it on your system instead of just forcing yourself to not consume it...you will start to control your sugar intake. If you do it for a month it becomes a habit
It's true that the cravings die down and your tastebuds do shift, for example, fruit starts to taste much sweeter and better than it did before, but for many people, myself included, if you eat processed sugary foods again, they will instantly retrigger those high-level cravings that you had before. It's similar to having one cigarette after not smoking for 2 months. Unfortunately, if you are predisposed to finding sugar highly addictive, its difficult to try to have it in moderation. It will trigger binge eating, heightened appetite and cravings.
How can we give up sugar totally? It’s in everything?
I want to give up, without having the cravings for it.
As a new pastry chef I can clearly see the effects of sugar on my brain since I entered sweet industry. I want to consume sugar regularly and when I dont have something sweet for a longer period of time I feel hungry and restless. It's hard af to concentrate on things like studying. So bad.
Hopefully by working with sweets every day you’ll get sick and tired of them and cut them out of your diet.

It’s like alcohol. Sometimes but not all the time
To give some encouragement to anyone struggling with eating habits and too much sugar, I was increasingly becoming insulin resistant and developing many conditions that come with it! It surprised me enough that I decided to find out how to reverse it. You can have a low sugar diet and be satisfied and healthy! The conditions have reversed that were affecting me since I've lowered sugar intake, increased protein, fiber, and exercise. It's such a relief and I'm so grateful to have my health 🙏 💛 😌 💓 i hope you all are healthy too!
There was a point in my life where I stopped craving sweets, especially these processed ultra sweet foods.
I don't know what happened but kind of I'm glad it happaned.
Did you stop eating them for a while?
Lucky dog!
I have a similar experience
This happened to me after I got sick
@@LeEag yes! I was so addicted to eating icecream everyday day then I ran a fever for a few days and after that I didn’t crave it for months. I was glad cause it was nice not to eat so much but now I’m back😅
Wow, although not exactly the same, I’ve stopped craving milk chocolate, chocolate cake, and biscuits. Depending on how sweet it is I won’t eat it. Of course there are exceptions like dark chocolate. However I kinda like it
So working in a sugar factory makes you crack dealer.

Hauahaahah
I had an ED and sugar was always a trigger - I stopped eating sugar 2 years ago ( stopped desserts and I limit as much as possible added sugar) for medical reasons because they also can trigger my mood swings, and I never, ever get sugar cravings, it's an awesome feeling to look at cake and be like "meh, i genuinely don't want that". It benefits the body in so many ways and a bonus is that I've naturally stayed lean!
I love you
that's amazing! I had an ed too but then I went into binge eating and now im trying to cut sugar out of my diet. I hope this can help me! I want to be healthy and have a good relationship with food.
What about bread?
but our bodies need sugar to function , i wouldn't say completely cut off sugar from diet but to minimize your intake of it (Pasta, toast , etc)
@@hannaansari2921 whole wheat no-added-sugar bread when I do eat it (not often) ☺️
I had a sugar addiction, it really can be called that. I had been buying myself a bar of chocolate or a candy bar for a year or more on a regular basis (every couple of days), this is if you don't count the sweet tea that I constantly drink. I just couldn't do without it, I couldn't concentrate on anything until I ate the damn sugar... and yes, my teeth are affected too. The problem was getting worse, and I decided to finally end it.
I did not completely give up sweet purchases (I have already said why above), but I reduced the dose gradually, and now buying sweets is an exceptional rarity for me.
Saving money and saving your health is what you will have if you prevent sugar addiction.
My mood lifted when I ate chocolate and stuff. This is one of the reasons for the onset of addiction. But believe me, it will save you in a short period, and then it will only turn against you.

Thats why Alan Watts said "Who is it that is asking who am I "? Meaning you are not your body. Wether you want to call it a soul, spirit, infinite devine energy or whatever.
I become sleepy when I eat sugar. Literally can't control the sleepiness after a drink, a meal or dessert with sugar. But whenever I quit sugar for a while I become incredibly alert and energized.
Interesting, I feel like I get energized(I drink chocolate coffee every morning, LOVE sweet coffee drinks) I wanna quit it tho, I drink and eat nearly 100g of sugar a day. As a former drug addict this has been my crutch for a long time.
Same here, that's why I avoid sugar. Fortunately, I'm not very keen on sweets. My late uncle called me 'anti-cake.'
Very practical points 😉. I try to have a balance diet over suger and sweet things 🙏😊. Moreover I want to mention that the best reward I got everytime which I resisted consuming suger is to keep my body fit and healthy.

NBAKIDD that sounds awesome. You must be very energetic and healthy. How did u achieve that? I cant quit taking sugar, sweets etc. I wish I could.
Fruit have sugar
.. did u not listen?
Sad but true ㅠㅠ
Good food has long term effects - making you feel much better throughout the day, whereas sugar will give you a momentary spike and you will feel worse because there is little to no nutritional value in sugary food.
its because you eat to much sugar, increase sugar levels, the body is taking in alot too fast, your stomach gets bigger, then you need to eat more because your stomach is bigger but your body is still the same and only needs at around 1100-2300 cals (different for everyone), but when you restrict the sugar your body will "reset" its calorie intake and boom, you are on your way to a better life. It's how I did it, i went from 318 to 179 in two years
I love the animation in this video
It communicates excellently
Love the animations!!😍
I knew sugar was like a drug for some people but didn't know thé reasons. This is so well-explained. It's gonna help me to explain the addictive mechanisms.
Socializing has never given me pleasure.
+Gene Glagolev I think it does when you are socializing with people that makes you feel acepted like when they laught at your jokes or when you go out and have fun with them that the brain releases dopamine
You don't like socializing still you come to UA-cam to post...internet has become a new way of socialization especially for people with poor social skills, awkward or too sensitive. Nothing wrong with that but be aware that there are many ways of socialize. Even watching TV could be considered a way to stay involved in social interactions. Unless you spend the day doing meditation, studying or creating something chances are you are socializing in some way.
I can understand your point. I'm the same way.
You don't have to be awkward, sensitive or shy to not enjoy socializing. Some people just don't get energy from spending time with other people the way they do spending time alone, even if they have awesome friends. Ain't nothing wrong with that, and I know awesome successful people who have no problem admitting that they're like that. Check out Jason Silva and his videos, he's one! And I promise you will love the stuff he talks about! :)
That's because you're being a bitch to people for no reason and they refused to hang out with you.
Lol.
1:11 CORRECTION: Sweetness receptors do not reside on a definitive patch of the tongue. Taste mapping like that is a misconception.
In ncert ,there is a concept of taste buds which says that different part of tongue identifies different taste
@@cinematic.chameleon that concept has long been debunked
I’m gonna be honest. For me if I don’t eat dessert or snacks like candy or chips for a long period of time and I see it on the market after I exercised I literally can not move away my eyes it’s like I want it so much. But after I eat like one or two bites those feelings are completely gone and I don’t feel that urge of eating sugary food for at least like 1 month if I’m eating enough calories.
What's funny is that most people don't realize that probably 90%+ of the food you buy has added sugar of some sort even if it is a savory food. Check your labels, you may be grossly surprised.

Eat your meals at a specific time every day
Please
Otherwise you’ll be left craving food, which is usually the junk food (sugar)
The animation here deserves an Oscar. The narration was also super nice.

same here
dopamine is addictive and receptors can get saturated so you need more
sugar is associated with pleasure in taste @4:20 “eating lots of sugar will continue to be rewarding”
follow DR Berg he answers all the related questions
And this video suggests sugar doesn't follow the basic rules of homeostasis? This video was much more entertaining than it was informative.
Can we talk about the fact that the ice cream just told me to bite it?
Pastry and junk food goes well together with tea/coffee especially in the countries with tea/coffee culture you end up eating something sweet along. Even if you want to stop eating, there is always some sweet at home and family members bring it and it creates more difficult environment 😅 Since childhood i am used to eat sweets every day and night like finishing a package of biscuits once or sometimes more. I realized that sometimes even i am full i still eat like an automatic robot and even sometimes have little nausea afterwards. If we don't have health problems now, it doesn't mean will not so i wanna make a change. For my future health and for my future kid. Kids like sponges in everything, so we should get a healthy eating habit so they can. Nothing is more delicious than being healhty.
I am trying to eat less for like a week now and i am used to read ingredients of foods. Frankly it is still turning in my mind in day and want to buy when went to grocery shopping so trying to pass that unhealthy section without even a look. :) Lastly i was like "so what happened after eating them all, how i feel? Better or guilty?" it just feels good while eating not more. I feel like i should not have ate afterwards. If i really want to eat i remember these so instead eating many of them i just taste one or two and if i did it once in a day i don't do second one and more prefer home made than processed ones with many additives full of lab. I hope i will quit processed and sugary foods. It goes slow but i wanna believe it will work, i don't still clearly know if it is possible or not to cut off comletely after all this years. If you have any suggests please...
Brilliantly explained. 👍

2:36 The major currency of our rewards system is dopamine , an important chemical or neuro transmitter. There are many receptors in the forebrain.
The fact that the name of the person talking is Nicole, it’s a nice name! 💕
Ouch, it's showing the myth of only a specific part of tongue tasting a specific taste... :/
While those receptors exist throughout the tongue, they are most concentrated in the traditional areas.
Actually, concentration differences aren't relevant here. There are _threshold_ differences, but all areas do taste equally well. :)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue_map (for sources, obviously)
***** Cool! :)
***** didnt know wikipedia suddenly became a viable source....
Christopher Bartel Me neither; tell me if that changes. Fortunately Wikipedia can be used for locating more sources, _as I clarified earlier_. It is simply a nice collection and it's fairly simple to link people to the article instead of copying loads of other links here.
Now tell me, do we disagree on anything? If you want me to start linking to primary research articles (which as a medical student and biology teacher I can), that's fine too but very much more tedious to general readers who want answers quickly. :)
These videos are awesome and a very fun way to get some more education! Thank you 😊

This is helpful information people should know. I am glad you are sharing it. I recently made a video on my channel about how much sugar can affect the body of someone.
Nov 2023 - 5 months without added sugar. My recent blood tests are excellent. I'd highly recommend doing this. I can't promise it'll be easy and it'll definitely cost more, but the benefits are real.
the tongue doesn't have specific areas of receptors. they are scattered.
more concentrated in certain places? (honest question >>>> not provoking :) )

Excellent information
Thanks. That was very useful.
I've been trying really hard to eat healthier and literally cut both Sugar & Salt out of my diet by 70-80%. I had no idea, that to even achieve the level of change that I wanted, would require me shopping at multiple different stores for the food & ingredients that I needed!... But it's totally working and I look & feel so much better than I did 6 Months ago!... 💯💯💯
Ted always doing something great for students... love you guys.. behind the team..
Thank you, very muсh. This video is very educational 😀
Super informative!
I am amazed! This video is so well animated and informative! This is the quality content I look for on UA-cam :D
Cutting sugar out of my eating is the best decision I've made so far. Better health, better skin, better breath( I have asthma attack), better mood and I eventually grew taller faster.
