What happens to your body when you give up sugar?

The brain becomes tolerant to sugar – which means more is needed to attain the same 'high'. In ways that nicotine and heroin hijack the brain’s reward pathway and make users dependent, increasing neuro-chemical and behavioural evidence suggests sugar is addictive in the same way

In neuroscience, food is something we call a “natural reward.” In order for us to survive as a species, things like eating, having sex and nurturing others must be pleasurable to the brain so that these behaviours are reinforced and repeated.

Sucrose is only one type of sugar. There's hidden sugars found naturally in foods, such as in fruit.

Sugar (sucrose or ordinary sugar) is a natural form of sugar containing fructose and dextrose. All fruits, berries and vegetables contain a mixture of ordinary sugar, fructose and dextrose in varying proportions. Sugar beets and sugar cane have a particularly high content of ordinary sugar, making these plants ideal for sugar production. From a purely chemical point of view, the sugar in a sugar beet is identical to the sugar in, for instance, a banana.

Dextrose, also known as glucose, is the main component of starch. Dextrose is the sugar type that the body absorbs the fastest.

Fructose is the sweetest of all natural sugar types. It is particularly effective at enhancing the flavour of fruit and berries.
