Sugar is addictive - more so to some people than others. And an awful lot of us 21st century people are addicted to sugar and many other items in that category.
I'm saying it is not a natural craving. Your diet led you to addiction, and chances are your upbringing laid the foundation for the whole problem.
Addicts - sugar, alcohol, nicotine, drugs, carbohydrates - must not have cheat days. You decide for yourself what level of addiction you have.

They gave rats cocaine and sugar. The rats pushed something to choose between cocaine or sugar. The rats always choose the sugar. Some think moderation with not so good foods is easier when in reality abstaining from those bad foods all together is a way easier route.
Eating sugar raises dopamine anything that raises dopamine has a potential for being addictive.
