I explain how to blunt sugar cravings through fundamental knowledge of how sugar is sensed, metabolized, and utilized within the body. I will explain how sugar is processed in the digestive tract and nervous systems. Also, how specific cravings and appetite changes can be caused by sugar’s nutritive and taste components. I explain the relationship between sugar and dopamine and how they can cause cravings.
