Toward consensus
The recognition of an addictive disorder relating to the harmful use of certain foods is being called for by clinicians and researchers, which evidence supports as being distinct from eating disorders (EDs) and obesity. Critics cite a lack of consensus on the validity of associating the term addiction with food, claiming that characteristics of addiction 'are not observed in the context of eating behaviors' as a reason to dispute its consideratio…
Preclinical evidence for the addiction potential of highly palatable foods
Emerging Evidence of Addiction in Problematic Eating Behavior
Obesity continues to be a pressing global health crisis with few nonsurgical means of long‐term successful treatment. In addition, in the last year, binge eating disorder (BED), which shares several behavioral characteristics with traditional substance use disorders, has been recognized in the DSM‐V as a distinct eating disorder diagnosis. In light of such trends, an emerging and controversial hypothesis is that an addictive response to certain t…
Which Foods May Be Addictive? The Roles of Processing, Fat Content, and Glycemic Load
OBJECTIVES: We propose that highly processed foods share pharmacokinetic properties (e.g. concentrated dose, rapid rate of absorption) with drugs of abuse, due to the addition of fat and/or refined carbohydrates and the rapid rate the refined carbohydrates are absorbed into the system, indicated by glycemic load (GL). The current study provides preliminary evidence for the foods and food attributes implicated in addictive-like eating. DESIGN: Cro…
