Most addicts are found to be hypoglycemic. This condition may have existed before they started taking drugs.
Basically all drugs addicts, whatever chemical they are using, are after serotonin, a chemical that the body produces from food sources and that makes them feel happy and content.
Addicts have a problem producing serotonin, and when they withdraw from drugs they get depressed, anxious, irritable and will return to drugs.
Alcoholics sometimes experience intense cravings for Chocolate, I guess its related.
Regardless of hypoglycemia or whether sweets are particularly desirable when high on heroin, sugar absolutely does not curb the need for heroin!!!! Only opiates/opioids will fulfill a heroin addict, no matter how tasty they think sugar is, they will still be in withdrawl. Medically sugar dose nothing to suppress heroin withdrawl.
