I have always known that sugar and I don't get along, and that my mood is low if I have too much processed sugars - like in cookies, cakes, candy, and processed coffee beverages...

But, like an addict, I'm always drawn to them with the "just a little indulgence" attitude that leads to constant consumption of refined sugars.

Here are some articles discussing the link between depression and sugar (and also caffeine...they say the body processes caffeine and sugar the same way).

I am going to post an article about this on my blog as well. When I do, I'll post a link to share, but for now, I wanted to share this with anyone who is just drawn to sugar whenever they're feeling down...or notice that they feel more depressed when they have refined sugars.
