Dr. Nicole Avena: The Science that Proves Sugar is Addictive

Dr. Nicole Avena's work is some of the first in the world that scientifically validated what most of us have discovered through personal experience… That sugar can act like an opiate and be addictive.Her peer-reviewed clinical research was on lab animals, and inspired other researchers, medical doctors, and scientists from around the world to conduct their own research, much of which elaborated on and validated her original findings.To say that Dr. Nicole Avena was one of the first scientists in the world to take this topic seriously is not an understatement.Today Dr. Nicole Avena is the author of five books, Hedonic Eating and Why Diets Fail to name a few, and is considered a world expert on the topic of sugar/food addiction, and passionately shares her expertise to help mothers have healthy pregnancies, and raise healthy whole food children.Enjoyed this episode?
