Food addiction: A Bite Size Explanation
Is food really addictive?
Food, especially sugar and flour, are extremely addictive in vulnerable individuals. If there is a history of obesity and addiction in the individual or family, this is especially true. Food can be so addictive, it can dominate a person’s life in the same way as alcohol or crystal meth. Although it may take longer to kill you, food addiction through its disguises of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, kills more people than alcohol or cocaine.
