Sugar Addiction Awareness Day is observed worldwide every October 30. Established in 2011 by Jill Escher, the day aims to highlight the health effects of excessive sugar consumption and encourage individuals to reduce their sugar intake. It coincides with the eve of Halloween, a time often associated with candy and sugary treats. The observance focuses on the negative health impacts of high sugar consumption, which can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dental issues. Common symptoms of sugar addiction include intense cravings, binge eating, and withdrawal-like symptoms. To commemorate the day, individuals are encouraged to evaluate their diets and consider reducing sugary foods, with suggestions such as cutting out one sweet item per week and opting for healthier snacks like fruits and vegetables.
