I've had enough recent self-observed evidence that sugar is doing Bad Things to my system that I've decided to bite the bullet and go on a refined sugar/carb fast for a minimum of a month's time. And see if I feel any different.
Some say that refined sugar can act like some drugs do, on brain chemistry, including serotonin and endorphins. And that, yes...a craving not unlike any addict's can be set up, throwing a person into a vicious cycle.
I've seen my mood and energy level plummet and rise, plummet and rise after sugar enough lately to see that my own personal hypothesis is worth testing now.
