I used cocaine for 3 years as a teenager, up to 2 grams or so a day for at least 18 months, and it is very addictive, esp. to someone who is an adolescent. I think sugar is probably more addictive in a more subtle way, as in people don't realize they have a dependance, whereas if you have a serious cocaine habit, you will be more aware. The headline is too sensational, but it is something I have long thought, coffee, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, are all as addicting as cocaine, in different ways.

Its addictive because your brain needs it!

What the article is saying that the rats preferred sweetened water, then they did cocaine, but they are wording it like sugar is more addictive then cocaine. They never even thought(or ignoring) they are two different things that work the brain in different ways. Sugar is an essential substance that gives your brain energy to work. Cocaine is a nonessential that releases neurotransmitters to keep you going. Maybe the rats didn't feel the need to do cocaine all day when they had food, or maybe the cocaine worked longer on them then humans, and made them want more sugar water.

The study also says the sweetener they used had no calorie content, so that means even though the rats tasted sweetness, it had no effect on their brains metabolism.

So, in reality, you can argue its the artificial sweeteners that can be more addictive then cocaine?:dwillhuh:

The artificial sweetener they used in this study is basically sweet'n'low!

Looks like they found their new cocaine to make them rich:ohhh:

All they have to do is make YOU want it. So, hating natural sugar seems like the first step:mjlit:

I don't really crave candy or sweets like that.

But I love sugary drinks!! Idk why, but I go crazy if I drink too much water or diet drinks.

It's like my body needs sugary drinks!!
