And they had water and cocaine and they would like press that lever thousands of times to get the cocaine. Somebody else repeated that but added one that had sugar in it and their cocaine use went significantly down when sugar was also present.

We see this when people get sober, that there's people that will get very heavy. They'll engage in what looks like a food addiction. And when we peel that back, I can't tell you how many times I've heard of people recognizing their first addictive behavior was going to the sugar bowl and taking spoonfuls of it.

I've actually heard people say that food addiction and probably specifically around sugar is often the primary addiction for people. It's kind of like how they get in there. I'm sure that's not true for everybody. But I think if we broaden the term of addiction beyond what โ€“ use disorder is in the DSM and move towards, do you have it or does it have you? Absolutely.

I mean, I don't think we can become sugar dependent in a way that if we stop it, we're going to go into some sort of major withdrawal, but I would imagine there'd be some sort of withdrawal. Same with caffeine. I've seen people go into psychosis with caffeine. I never want to find out what happens if I quit caffeine. You might just always be in psychosis, caffeine psychosis. Thanks for that.
