Sugar addiction is a term for the situation where individuals crave sugar-laden sweet foods and find it extremely difficult if not impossible to control their intake. The attraction to sugar had in the past been considered merely psychological dependence, but recent research has shown that withdrawal symptoms occur during periods of abstinence, a key element of physical dependence.

Yup....this is me. Even with the sweet a week guidelines if full effect I still crave sugary things all the time. It's just good to have a label now!
