Produktbeschreibung
An epidemic of obesity and overeating has continued to increase for three decades and now threatens the US health system, as well as the lives of over 70 million adults and children. Understanding the disease of food addiction is critical to the effective treatment of obesity, eating disorders, and related secondary illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, depression, and some forms of cancer. A major aspect of food addiction is that those who have it do not think they have it, and those who are treating them do not see it as a serious problem. If you think you or someone you know may be addicted to sugar and/or other specific foods, an essential place to start is by dispelling some of the myths about food addiction. That is the goal of this book.
