Summary: On today’s Carbohydrates Can Kill podcast Show, Vera Tarman, M.D. is back as my featured guest. She and I are going to continue our discussion about food addiction. Dr. Tarman is a well-known physician who is an expert in addiction, particularly in food addiction. During our discussion last week, Dr. Tarman told us about why food could become an important subject in addiction medicine, and why its addictive properties are more powerful than cocaine.

In today’s interview, I am going to concentrate our discussion on food addiction in relation to sugars and starches. Let us tune in now for this informative discussion.
