Posted December 15, 200718 yr POOR Amy Winehouse has developed a new addiction – ice lollies. The hugely talented singer has been sucking frozen treats to cool herself down after heroin binges. Brown sugar is terribly moreish and users are in danger of collapsing with heat stroke, unless they lower their body temperature immediately. Burning So the jazz pixie has been sucking ice pops to save her fragile little bod from burning up after chasing the nasty old dragon. An insider said: “Amy is a very strong and intelligent woman. But it’s difficult to get off smack once you’re addicted. “She is gradually weaning herself off the drug. And she is exercising damage limitation during her increasingly rare binges by cooling herself down with ice lollies.” The Camden legend has also been stuffing her pretty little mouth with candy, which is nicknamed “junkie munchies”. The reason for this is that her body is having difficulty producing the “happy hormone” serotonin as she weans herself off the smack. The sugar from chocolate and sweets helps her body produce that cheery chemical and will prevent her from becoming depressed and returning to drugs. Our source added: “Heroin is often cut with sugar, because the drug and sweetener are arrived at by a very similar process of refinement. “Addicts eat more and more candy as they withdraw from heroin.” We’re sure the only brown sugar she’ll enjoy in 2008 will be in the Curly Wurly form.
