Sugar has been shown to have addictive properties, creating a cycle of craving that can be difficult to break. Research suggests that sugar can activate the brain's reward system in a similar way to addictive drugs, leading to compulsive consumption and dependency. This addiction is particularly concerning because it affects not only adults but also children, who are easily hooked on sugary foods and drinks.

Sugar addiction involves the brain’s reward system, where consuming sugar triggers dopamine and opioid release, creating pleasure and cravings. Blood sugar spikes and crashes, insulin resistance, and gut-brain signals further fuel this dependence. Habitual consumption also leads to psychological attachment, reinforcing the cycle, potentially contributing to weight gain, metabolic disorders, and chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.

Malaysia faces a growing epidemic of obesity and diabetes, with sugar being a major contributor. According to statistics, Malaysia has one of the highest rates of diabetes in Asia, largely driven by the overconsumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and processed foods. Obesity, in turn, increases the risk of other metabolic diseases, including cardiovascular problems, hypertension, polycystic ovary and even certain cancers.
