What am I looking at here?
The red glowing portions in the brain scan is dopamine. Notice how cocaine and sugar ‘addicts’ don’t have these portions

Tldr: sugar is more addictive than cocaine
Does that mean that if I've never succumbed to sugar addiction despite having access to plenty of sugary foods, I can safely use recreational cocaine without worrying about it destroying my life? I've always avoided it whenever I did have access to it, because I've heard too many horror stories about it destroying people.
That's wise advice. I figured they were wrong saying that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. That sounds like something someone who's never tried cocaine would say.
