Hi friends, happy Thursday! Welcome to the Dark History podcast. It’s October, which means, it’s the start of spooky season. With Halloween coming up, my mouth is watering just thinking about all of the candy I’m going to eat. But I always hear about how bad sugar is, so I wanted to find out why? Is sugar really as addictive as cocaine? Where does it come from? Are there hidden costs? And of course, the answers are darker than I could have ever imagined. I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History. Want some cool Bailey Merch?
