Sugar as drug?

An interesting article on CNN demonstrating the addictive power of sugar in
rats.

While we are not rats, there is no reason to believe that there is much of a
difference with us and it explains the intense cravings for sugar that we
develop - dopamine release.

I read "The Sugar Blues" (most libraries have it) a long time ago and recognized
that sugar was a real problem substance and have generally avoided it like the
plague since then, but this just confirms the old theories.
