Cocaine, heroin, insanity nicotine, sugar. Yes, sweetness is just as addictive as the known drugs, and therefore the government should explain its use restricted. Thus, the Amsterdam Municipal Health Director Paul van der Velpen, yesterday in The Telegraph.
Sugar Addictive? There are certainly evidence confirms Wim van den Brink, professor insanity of addiction in the Amsterdam Academic Medical Center. What is known about it? Van den Brink: "There is a lot of animal studies to how they respond to high concentrations of sweet substances Rats, we now know, sometimes even sugar rather than cocaine example, you teach them that they need to kick awarded for a pedal.. with a very sweet drink. insanity then turn rats prepared to work for a little sugar. If you stop rewarding, very hard then they will have a long pedal that steps in the hope that they still have their reward. " Clear case? "To be sure, you would not have to give rats as a reward, insanity but also a rebuke to connect, such as electric shocks question is whether insanity they are still just as hard to keep pedaling on that pedal that's only the sugar addiction..: that you will continue with something even though it has dire consequences. " How does an addiction in the brain? "The brain has a reward in the form of specific substances that deep release insanity in the brains. Example, When eating or sex. Therefore we do not starve and we keep the species alive. But we also have a brake system, the front of the cortex. So people can think about consequences in the long term and decide that Mars better not to eat. When addicts is that system out of balance. They look very strong to reward insanity and their brakes not functioning properly. " Are there indications of an addicted insanity brain in obese people? "Their insanity reward is less sensitive to ordinary rewards. The brain reacts less enthusiastic baby pictures or car graphics. But just extra excited at the sight of food. A similar pattern can be found for heroin and cocaine addicts." Are you ready to hear it for sugar in the official list addictions to include? "No. Even though because I wonder how specific a sugar addiction. People who binge eating have, are not only looking for sugar but also fats and carbohydrates. With a sugar tax, you are not. You would also expect these people respond to certain drugs, opiate antagonists, which act on the reward. But that is not so, hence they do not get less sense in sugar. While you might expect insanity that if sugar sigh biochemically an addiction like any other would be. " Moreover: shopping, sex, food - you can probably call everything an addiction, right? "That argument will certainly have played in putting together the new DSM-5, a role the manual for psychiatry. Gambling has been integrated into the addiction. Chapter But there was little evidence of the experts to excessive eating, sex and shopping also be attributed to the addictions You might even be called an addiction depression:.. addicted to negative thoughts, but at some point the term addiction than meaningless ".
