Will Glutamine Help With Sugar Addiction?

I read that Glutamine helps with sugar addiction and taking 1000mg in the morning and 1000 mg in the evening for 2 to 3 weeks will help you crave less sugary foods/sweets...is this true? I am a regular cola junkie and am trying to break the habit. I drink about 76 ounces of soda a day and am now just moving to good old H2O.
