Everyone enjoys a sweet treat now and then - including GP Dr Amir Khan - but refined sugar cravings can lead to you eating more than you normally would, in turn impacting your health and mental wellbeing.
We’re all well aware of the impact of too much refined sugar in our diets, but that doesn’t stop us from craving it. It's very normal to reach for a sweet treat during a mid-afternoon energy slump as our blood sugar levels dip naturally after lunch, or at certain times of the month when our hormones are in flux.
