Sugary Soda May Be Addictive

It's possible that sugary soda has an addictive quality. Dopamine release in the brain and a sense of pleasure may result from a sugar splurge in rats. Because your brain is hardwired to seek out activities that release dopamine, some people may experience similar results from binge eating on sugar.

Numerous studies believe that sugar and processed junk food have an addictive effect on the brain. Sugar has the potential to lead to food addiction in people who are predisposed to the disease. Sugar can be physically addicting, according to studies done on rats. Human addiction is more difficult to prove, although many people use sugary drinks in a way that is typical of addictive, harmful substances.
