Do you ever have sugar cravings after you have a big meal? Do you crave sugar late at night or in the middle of the day?  Do you think about the sweet treat waiting for you at home or the office, and no matter how hard you try to fight off the urge, you find yourself breaking and indulging anyways?

You are not alone!  The average American consumes more than 17 teaspoons of sugar a day, which is over 70 grams, which accounts for more than 14% of the average diet.  Most of this sugar comes from processed foods, which add sugar to things like ketchup, sauces, and even bread.

In Episode 94, Emily and Joel talk about the effects of sugar on your body, the different types of sugar, and how to break the addiction once and for all!
