Is Sugar an Addiction?

Low sugar, hangry. I'm irritable, I'm jittery, I'm shaky, I can't think well until I get some type of carbohydrates. If you actually think about it it sounds kind of sort of like an addiction, right? You know, you get jittery, hangry, irritable, you can't handle people until you get whatever your snack is. This is a marker not of you needing more carbs. It's a marker of excessive consumption and it can rob you of your energy. So we talked about fats, we talked about carbs. The other thing is chronic dehydration coupled with not having enough electrolytes. Typically the average American, this doesn't account for extremes wants to consume about half their body we in ounces of water. So if you weigh you know, 150 pounds for example you want to consume about 70 ounces of water a day. The average American gets nowhere close to this. And because of consumption of tea and coffee we get chronically dehydrated.
