In this episode, we examine the complex relationship between humans and sugar. We trace sugar's evolution from a luxury item tied to exploitation to its current status as a dietary staple, with Americans now consuming nearly two pounds of sugar per week.

We link excessive sugar intake to public health issues like obesity and diabetes. We explore how sugar mirrors drug addiction, influencing cravings and behaviors. Personal stories lead into our 30-day sugar challenge, encouraging listeners to reassess their habits and view food as essential nourishment rather than mere pleasure.
