What it concludes

• 80% of food items in America contain some form of added sugar, and by 2050, one in three Americans will have diabetes.
• Your brain lights up with sugar the same way it does with cocaine.
• Switching to a healthier diet is hard because taste buds need a month or two to acclimate to lower sugar and fat ratios.
• What we eat impacts our mental well-being immensely more than initially realized.
• Shopping on the outside aisles of the grocery store and supporting local farmers markets helps you choose seasonal and fresh food.
