XI. Read the following passage and mark the correct answer.
Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary
foods, sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good
feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong
effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on.
"It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to
sugar," says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and
up to 347 million have diabetes. Why? "Sugar, we believe, is one of the culprits, if not the major
one," says Johnson.
So, what is the solution? It's obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today's world,
it's extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are
increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers even use sugar to replace taste in foods that are
advertised as low in fat. But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are
replacing sugary desserts with healthier options like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in
gardens or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can
exercise. The battle has not yet been lost.
