all artificial sweeteners have either had at least 1 study showing physical or mental health risks, or there is ongoing work with mounting evidence

The biggest nail in the coffin will be current research into the endocannaboid reactions in the brain and their effect in the gut vi the vagus nerve. Endocannaboid research at little as 5 years ago was thought to be the key to new painkillers, but what it will teach us is that "sweet" sensations have a fast track to the gut and that what we now call broscience is hard fact.

Expect some crazy shit about diabetes, the corn industry , and the like in the near future.

On a more practical note, cinnamon can help. Also, learn to drink unsweetened hot tea or black coffee

It can be, and recent research will help prove this. It's not like herion addiction, but it sets up a reward /feedback loop that has a physical effect

Curbing sugar addiction doesn't mean you have to stop eating all sugar.

replace sugar in coffee with coconut oil. full of MCTs. replace sweets with fruit (yes full of fructose but better than white sugar). good luck.

I was desperately addicted to sugar, but I went a year without eating anything sweet, and now it's pretty much a non-issue.

Basically this >>40415576

But different people do it differently, some wean off, some go cold turkey on any obvious sweets, some cut out sugar in their diet but keep fruit, then cut back on that. Some use artificial sweeteners in moderation.

The best way is to do it in the way it's most successful for you. What you can handle and stick to.

No shit but the question is how

willpower
just the same thing that lets a person squat 405 and up

Realizing what you have to gain by mastering your sugar addiction and/or what you have to lose by not doing so.

Stop eating it.

It might take a week or so, but once you kick the habit, you won't miss it.
