Food Addiction
Food Addiction is a scholarly work by Ashley Gearhardt and Kelly D. Brownell, published in 2009 in ''Journal of Addiction Medicine''. The main subjects of the publication include diagnosis, drug withdrawal, overconsumption, taste, diagnostic criterion, consumption, salience, eating disorder, food addiction, psychiatry, social psychology, addiction, human obesity, glossary of archaeology, medicine, eating, incentive, incentive salience, and psychology. Much as classic drugs of abuse "hijack" the brain, accumulating evidence with food suggests a similar impact, but with weaker effects.
