Sugar addiction is a behavioural disorder which leads to the consumption of sugar laden foods in large quantities. Sugar on consumption releases Dopamine (a hormone) in our body and gives you enormous pleasure.
Unfortunately, sugar addiction is not considered as a concern to be worried about like alcohol or drug addiction and is socially acceptable.
