What Sugar Addiction has to do with Alcohol...

I found these most interesting. This explains to me why people become addicted to sugar, (one of the reasons), and why alcoholics crave sweets when they stop drinking.
They are turning the sugars into alcohol. They are still 'drinking'.

Exerpt 1:

When starches and complex sugars (like those in honey and fruits) are digested, they are broken down into simple sugars called "monosaccharides", which are usable substances-nutriments. When starches and sugars are taken together and undergo fermentation, they are broken down into carbon dioxide, acetic acid, alcohol and water. With the exception of the water, all these are unusable substances-poisons.

Exerpt 2:

"When foods are eaten in incompatible mixtures, the efficiency of digestive enzymes is reduced and the food will decompose in the digestive tract. The products of fermentation and putrefaction, which result from bacterial decomposition, will poison the body when absorbed by the small intestine."

"If one were to take tomatoes with potatoes, the potatoes would not be properly digested because the acid of the tomato destroys the alkaline medium which is necessary for the action of ptyalin. Ptyalin simply cannot function in a highly acid medium, and the potatoes must wait until they reach the small intestine for further digestion. Meanwhile fermentation takes place in the stomach because if digestive enzymes don't hydrolyze the food, the bacteria will turn it into alcohol and acetic acid. These poisons are absorbed by the villi of the small intestine and irritate every organ and tissue with which they come in contact. The whole organism is alerted of the danger by the nervous system and assists in their expulsion. This causes enervation by making the body work hard to eliminate toxic material. To keep up gastrointestinal activity when the enzyme necessary for proper digestion is rendered inactive by acid, also wastes nerve energy. One's health and strength is built by what one can digest, absorb and assimilate. If poisonous bacterial wastes are absorbed instead of nutrients, health cannot be maintained or built."

"The products of fermentation irritate all tissues with which they come in contact. Daily gastrointestinal irritation from the products of fermentation may cause the gastric irritation to progress to inflammation and then from there to ulceration and finally cancer."

Exerpt 3:

The symptoms of candidiasis, and their severity, vary from person to person but the main ones are: chronic fatigue, especially after eating, depression, craving for breads and sugars (yeast eats sugar), extreme mood swings, feelings of rage, especially after eating sugary foods, feeling "drunk" after eating a meal high in carbohydrates (candida's waste is alcohol), hypoglycemia, excessive mucous of the throat, nose, and lungs, chronic fungal infections of the skin (jock itch, athlete's foot) or vaginal/oral thrush, diarrhea, anal itching, short-term memory loss, feeling "spacy," and bloating or gassiness after eating.

In addition to these, lymphatic swelling, difficult PMS, night sweats, chest and joint pain, memory loss, incoordination, blurred vision, intense, random headaches, intermittent vertigo, insomnia, sneezing fits, and increased food allergies are also fairly common. A person tends to get extremely sensitive to damp, mildewy environments and, sometimes, to extreme humidity as well as perfumes, colognes, and smoke. Since candida can infiltrate the urinary tract, acute kidney infections, cystitis, and prostatitis are possible.
