Studies show that sugar lights up the brain’s reward center much like addictive substances do — leaving us craving more and more. But it’s not just a physical addiction — it’s also psychological and spiritual. The food seems to fill a deeper need for comfort and love. That’s an emotional or spiritual hunger — but food
