So, are we all junkies?<br />
According to the Harvard School of Public Health, the average American<br />
consumes 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day, equating to an extra 350<br />
calories. Scarily, these 22 mouthfuls of sweetness are easily consumed –<br />
added sugar is difficult to avoid.<br />
Gillespie claims food manufacturers are taking advantage of our<br />
collective sugar addiction and are ‘lacing’ non-sweet products – such<br />
as bread, sauces, soups and cereals – with the poison to ensure we stay<br />
hooked. And he’s not alone in this thinking.<br />
Dr Robert Lustig, a paediatric endocrinologist at the University of<br />
California-San Francisco and author of the book Fat Chance: The Hidden<br />
Truth About Sugar, says the food industry is purposefully sweetening up<br />
our diets.<br />
‘The food industry has made sugar into a diet staple because they know<br />
when they do, you buy more,’ he told The Guardian in 2013. ‘This is their<br />
hook. If some unscrupulous cereal manufacturer went out and laced your<br />
breakfast cereal with morphine to get you to buy more, what would you<br />
think of that? They do it with sugar instead.’
