I was a sugarbaby; meaning since I was born I was given lots of sugar, and ate lots of processed foods, especially sweets until I was into my thirties. Most people in the west were/are sugarbabies.

I found my sugar cravings got progressively worse as I headed to the big CHANGE, and the struggle has been truly a person battle. MDA was a huge help, since getting off the junk makes all the difference.

It doesn't seem to take much for a switch from one kind of abuse to another. Like alcoholics who often will start eating terribly sweet foods when they give up the drink.

"dean ornish and dr. davis think the palmitic acid our bodies use for fuel while we sleep is poison if we eat it. zero-carbers like charles washington think the oldest fuel in our evolutionary history – glucose - used by organisms a billion years ago and without which the brains of modern mammals cannot survive for more than a few minutes – is an unnatural toxin if you eat it. both views ignore basic facts of medical physiology and defy evolutionary history." - kurt harris
I benefit from starch while not being addicted to sugar. I have been addicted to other substances, but have never been addicted to the poison that is sugar.
Does anyone else here have a rudimentary understanding of what carbohydrates actually are?
