RE: Educating Steem: Is There A Disorder Caused by Marijuana?—Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome
Diet coke would be a great focus. I have worked with dietitians who have referenced studies that show an increase in sugar craving and the eventual binge.
The brain is too smart to be tricked by artificial sweetener . It will seek what it requires, even the most "disciplined" restrictive eater will ruminate and crave. Diet soda is linked to increased weight gain. Studies have proven that.
I hope my discussion here didn't put you off, I am a great advocate for informed use of any medication.
I have just seen devastating results from both long term anti-emetics, THC, and benzo's.
I have worked in mental health for 20yrs.
But I do support the sharing of knowledge, especially of unusual or rare conditions. You just never know, your post may radically change someone's life.
Thanks
I really appreciate your thoughts. While I have learned a lot and seen a lot, my experience has only began. I for sure think my decesions will change as my experience increases. Great field you are in. I have a passion for psych and family medicine will give me great insight into the field of mental health as well.
I think my stance on artificial sweeteners will be a good one. I will try to put the most evidence based research out there. It may have to be a couple of posts because I also like the views of our biochemist in medical school that actually debunked a lot of misnomers out there about aspartame. However, I will look at the points of weight gain. There are for sure studies out there that do show this sugar craving.
