So says So does it listen to the study. So this study is evidence for sugar addiction behavioral and neurochemical effects of intermittent excessive sugar intake. And I want to use their definition of addiction. So we can look at you know, does this sound like what happens with food? They say the diagnostic criteria for addiction can be grouped into three stages. Binging withdrawal role. Credit has three stages. It's not three stages is more. Anyway, they talk about the these are these are the stages. Okay group grouped into different ones. Okay, so binging, withdrawal, craving and sensitization I fucking hate that word. I can never say it right centralization. Okay, so let's talk about him. Binging Alright, so, as we know, there is there are times in our lives where we will binge and it will just be a normal part of life. It was my birthday last week. I was like okay, well, what can I what am I going to have for dinner? I'm gonna buy some things I really like. So did I buy something? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got a I got an ice cream. And I got a Chinese takeaway. And I ordered from I really love cinema popcorn. So I ordered from the cinema, this popcorn. And I was like this jumbo popcorn and I was like, oh, it's probably, you know, the size of two larges. Turns out it was the size of six largers. So, I was eating, I was eating that popcorn and my, my Chinese hadn't arrived yet. And so I was like eating the popcorn and and the Chinese arrived to house in Chinese and I was like, oh my god, I'm really full. And so I forgot about the ice cream. Anyway, so there we go, that's a binge. I mean, you could suggest that oh, maybe, you know, a binges is if we're getting into like pathological like, you know, fast and, you know, other other things that are going on to make it more kind of less relaxed than what I was doing right? I was just like, chowing down on some on some nice food, and ate too much for what my body wanted at that time. And that's okay. Right. So, and then we also then have it then moving into something that is a little bit more harmful, maybe to my mental health. And that would be moving into BDD. So binge eating disorder. And so we can have signs and symptoms of BDD, but not actually, like full blown BDD. And I'll talk about that more later what that looks like. And so Okay, so with the for the diagnostic criteria of this is first is binging. Okay, so we know that someone can binge in a way that is not harmful for them away, that is just a normal part of being a human being. And we also know it's a part of, of something which is a mental health condition, an eating disorder. And so it is not necessarily addiction. Next is withdrawal. Okay, so let me tell you what, we're talking about withdrawal. They use withdrawal from opioids as their criteria. And so does this sounds familiar to you? When you have eaten food, and you or whatever it is sugar, whatever you feel like you might be addicted to Does this sound familiar? Of when you haven't had access to that food? Trembling and tremors, muscle pain or aches, hunger or loss of appetite, fatigue, sweating, irritability, agitation, depression, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, confusion, insomnia, paranoia, seizures, dilated pupils. I mean, maybe a few of them. Anxiety, maybe no. But really, that doesn't sound about right does it? That doesn't sound about right, that doesn't feel like the experience of what's happening when you are not getting access to this substance, which is sugar or food or whatever. By the way, our bodies need food.
