SUGAR® Assessment
A diagnostic tool to assess for addiction to Sweet & starchy, Ultra-processed, Grain based foods. Addiction is one disease with many outlets and these foods are often the gateway drug to other outlets or can be seen in isolation, for now.
If you have ever tried to stop eating these foods and had trouble with either stopping, or more often, staying stopped, then this tool can help you identify where your problems may lie.
SUGAR® is a diagnostic tool, a structured interview that examines patients’/clients’ relationships to sugar/flour/processed foods.
SUGAR® is the only diagnostic tool for “food addiction”, but there are many screening tools (UNCOPE S, Yalescale, and others).
The instrument is based on diagnostic criteria for harmful use and addiction to mind-altering drugs described in WHO’s ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases and health-related problems) and APA’s (American Psychiatric Association) DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders).
SUGAR® will help you know if your brain has developed an addiction to these foods or if you have harmful use, the reason this is very important is that treatment methods are different for these two conditions.
Available to individuals 18 years and older.
