The Truth About Sugar Addiction with Dr. Vera Tarman
In this episode our topic is “The Truth about Sugar Addiction”. Our guest is Dr. Vera Tarman, author of Food Junkies: The Truth About Food Addiction. Dr. Tarman has spoken extensively about many aspects of addiction but particularly food.
“Most of us have, at one time or another, struggled to say ‘no thanks’ when it comes to food. It’s difficult to close the bag of chips or refuse the extra cookie. It’s no wonder that more than 14 million Canadians are considered overweight or obese.”

Addiction is about brains, not just about behaviors. We all have the brain reward circuitry that makes food rewarding; it’s a survival mechanism. In a healthy brain, these rewards have feedback mechanisms for satiety or “enough.” For some, the circuitry becomes dysfunctional such that the message becomes “more.” Michael Prager, author of Fat Boy Thin Man, will begin the discussion telling his very personal story of recognizing and then seeking treatment for his food addiction. Leading researchers and clinicians will discuss many aspects of this important topic.
