Read the following passage. Then fill in the diagram with the information that you read.
Health Sciences
Sugar cane has been cultivated since prehistoric times. Thought to have originated in the Pacific island of New Guinea, sugar has found its way to households all over the world. Despite its value, the sweet substance has many negative effects, according to some scientific reports. Is has been proven to cause tooth decay, suppress the immune system, and contribute to obesity. But perhaps the most serious of the consequences that result from eating sugar is the possibility of developing a sugar addiction. Sugar addiction is when a person craves food that contains sugar and has a negative reaction in its absence. Scientists have learned that it is possible for humans to become both psychologically and physically dependent on sugar.
Psychological dependence is when the mind becomes reliant on a certain substance or activity in order to feel good. Psychological additions usually occur when a person tries to relieve other symptoms, like feelings of loneliness or anxiety. Thus, it is easy to see how one might become psychologically dependent on sugar. Numerous studies and survey have revealed that people seek sugary foods when they are feeling down or angry. In addition, they often report feeling better after indulging in a sweet snack. This suggests that the uncontrollable cravings, anxiety, and even depression experienced when one cannot have sugar are caused by a psychological addition to the substance.
