First Drug

We often hear warnings about the dangers of hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, but there’s another silent threat that affects millions daily…sugar. Candy and sweets might seem harmless, even comforting, but excessive sugar consumption has been linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and more. It’s sobering to think that something so sweet can quietly wreak havoc on our health over time. I’m not pointing fingers, I struggle with it too. My own sweet tooth is something I battle regularly, and I’ve come to see how tough it can be to resist the instant gratification that sugar offers. But acknowledging the problem is the first step toward taking back control.
