I have been following this for a while and I did see a small thing that might help concerning sugar addiction. I was eventually able to kick sugar cravings with raw honey. I have also helped many friends and family with this.
In fact I have found raw honey helped me heal, reduce or avoid several problems that arose from my mercury poisoning. It is no cure just something that has helped me get away from something that did not help my condition - processed sugar.

So the trick is to make sure it is truly raw and that means it cannot be heated over 96 degrees. even on the label when it says unheated and raw they can still heat it to 120 killing most or all enzymes. At that stage it is worthless and barely better than processed sugar.
Here are two brands that I and my friends have used.

the other is y & s honey

Both are on the net and available in places like whole foods. the net is about 40% cheaper. esp in bulk.
also you can go to your local bee keeper but ask if it was heated or flltered in any way.

I would replace with raw whenever I had a sugar craving. I have never seen anyone take too much or have negative effects. however we must be extremely careful in introducing new items to a mercury toxic body - I would go very slowly.

I know it is not much but in my mercury experience every bit helps.
