A new study by Princeton University confirms what most people already know: Sugar is an addictive substance. The study, conducted with laboratory rats, showed that rats binging on sugar water experienced behavioral and even neurochemical changes similar to those induced by substance abuse. Bart Hoebel of Princeton University in New Jersey presented the findings this week at a meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology in Scottsdale, Arizona. Mr. Hoebel commented on the study:

"These animals show signs of withdrawal and even long-lasting aftereffects that might resemble craving."
