About this episode
Sugar is everywhere around us. It's a reward, it's baked into every celebration we have. But for some, it becomes a problem when that sweet treat we want turns into something we need. Nikki and Mr. Malone break down the science of our confectionery cravings with a neuroscientist to find out if sugar is more addictive than cocaine. Then a recovering sugar addict spills the sweet tea on her struggles with sugar.
