阅读该文前，刚好在微信听书中听法国葡萄糖女神杰西•安佐斯佩的《控糖革命一书》，指明糖化对细胞的伤害及血糖较大波动对身体的影响。控制糖的摄入，保持血糖平稳，能有效提升健康水平，延缓身体衰老。
Is Sugar Addictive?
Some of us can definitely say we have a sweet tooth. Whether it's cakes, chocolates, cookies, lollies or soft drinks, our world is filled with intensely pleasurable sweet treats.
我们中一些人可以肯定地说，会有一个甜食爱好者。无论是蛋糕、巧克力、饼干、棒棒糖还是软饮，我们的世界充满了甜食，能让你强烈得感受到快乐。
Sometimes eating these foods is just too hard to resist.
有时吃这些食物确实是难以抗拒。
Eating sugary foods can become our lifestyles and routines. That spoonful of sugar makes your coffee taste better and dessert can feel like the best part of dinner.
摄入含糖食品可能成为我们日常生活常规中的一环。一勺糖，就能让咖啡味道更好；一份甜点，这便感觉是晚餐高光时刻。
If you've ever tried to cut back on sugar, you may have realised how incredibly difficult it is. For some people it may seem downright impossible. This leads to the question: can you be addicted to sugar?
如果你曾经试图减少糖的摄入，你可能已经意识到，减少摄入糖如此困难，困难到令人难以置信。对于一些人来说，这似乎是完全不可能的。这便引出了一个问题：你会对糖上瘾吗？
Sweet foods are highly desirable as the powerful impact sugar has on the reward system in the brain called ,the mesolimbic dopamine system.
大脑中有一个“犒赏系统”，被称为中脑边缘多巴胺系统，而糖对此具有强大的影响，因此糖对于这系统来说简直就是“最受欢迎的”。
Dopamine has an important role in the brain, directing our attention towards things in the environment like tasty foods that are linked to feelings of reward.
多巴胺在大脑中具有重要作用，如引导我们注意环境中那些事物，即摄入犒赏系统有关的美味食物。
The dopamine system becomes activated at the anticipation of feelings of pleasure.
在期许快乐时，多巴胺系统可被激活。
This means our attention can be drawn to cakes and chocolates when we're not necessarily hungry, evoking cravings. Our routines can even cause sugar cravings.
这意味着当我们不一定饿的时候，我们的注意力会被吸引到蛋糕和巧克力上，引起对糖的渴求。
We can subconsciously want a bar of chocolate or a fizzy drink in the afternoon if this is a normal part of our daily habits.
我们的生活习惯甚至会导致对糖的渴望。如果这是我们日常习惯的一部分，我们会下意识地想在下午吃块巧克力或喝杯汽水。
