A member asked:

Sugar addiction: how many days do you have to be off it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doesn't exist: There is no such thing as sugar addiction. Of course all of us can have abnormal eating patterns at times. Fruits, vegetables and high fiber grains are the best foundation of a healthy diet.
