On this blog I was curious to see if he had fleshed out his theory of habit forming foods that had drugs in them which made them more habit forming that just extremely good tasting food.
Food Addiction
There is no such thing other than when you are starving to death and then you will eat garbage.
Photo above is from The Great Starvation Diet by Todd Tucker. On 1550 calories a day. There would be kicked out of the program if they gained weight from eating garbage.
I went to pain control conferences.
Gambling, shopping, sex may be very habit forming because of dopamine release.
Alcohol, opioids, barbiturates are chemical addictions which when you stop them suddenly you go through severe withdrawal.
Ritalin was said to be addictive, yet most kids went on drug free weekends.
No one has has to be admitted to the ER for sudden withdrawal of coffee or chocolate.
Disease of Alcoholism is very different from even a daily high intake (5 oz) of alcohol. Many colleges kids survive it. They like it but most are not addicted.
Confusing food with addiction is very bad science or at least a tremendous
stretch of logic.
