Sugar Detox Guide to Sugar Addiction’s Many Forms
Sugar Addiction actually takes four forms – based on what is driving your sugar addiction. According to this video by Dr. Teitelbaum, who wrote the book, Beat Sugar Addiction Now, people are driven to sugar addiction, in general, by four main causes:
- fatigue
- adrenal exhaustion
- yeast growth
- depression/anxiety
In the video he also provides some counsel on what to do to be successful in a sugar detoxification effort.
Dr. Teitelbaum cited a number of symptoms of sugar addiction, as a guide to those who are concerned they are suffering from this common affliction. The symptoms are:
- Fatigue
- Weight Gain
- Sinusitis
- Depression or Anxiety
- Spastic Colon
One of the most interesting points made by Dr. Teitelbaum is that sugar addiction, in some cases, is not brought on by overeating or a sweet tooth, but rather medical conditions, such as yeast growth in the gut, which consumes large quantities of sugar and adrenal exhaustion. Adrenal exhaustion is a term used in alternative medicine to describe a situation where the adrenal glands are exhausted and unable to produce adequate quantities of important hormones.
So the message is clear – any number of symptoms can be the telltale flag that you are addicted to sugar. Investigate this if you don’t feel that you are as healthy as you think you should be.

I have never considered the possibility of being addicted to sugar but it certainly makes sense. With the large amounts of sweeteners that are present in many of our foods it does make you wonder if the food producers also have shares in companies selling weight reduction pills as this would allow them to exploit everyone twice over!
