I love sugar despite knowing how bad it can be for me. Like many, I can benefit from a lower sugar intake as sugar can be addicting and hard to resist. After researching the addictive properties of sugar, I decided to create Sugar Rx, a sugar-free, pill-shaped candy that comes in a pill bottle, suggesting the fact that sugar can do more harm than good if we let it. Similarly, medicine is supposed to treat illness or pain, therefore making us feel better. However, if abused, medication can become addictive. This is also true for sugar; but, if sugar is removed from sweets and still tastes good, we can enjoy things like chocolate without feelings of guilt or wanting more.
Sugar Rx comes in five flavors, each corresponding to a different type of craving: Smooth Milk for stress, Decadent Dark for emotional, White Truffle for treat, Peppermint Chip for holiday, and Birthday Cake for celebratory cravings.
