Sugar - particularly added sugar - is in nearly all of our food. Whether you have a sweet tooth or not, it's important to know the benefits and consequences of all three kinds of sugar, and how we can adjust our relationship to them.

On this episode of On Nutrition, we talk with dietitian-nutritionist Lisa Lammert about the history of added sugar, whether it's possible to have a sugar addiction, and if sugar substitutes are as effective as we might think.
