Many of you know that I am extremely interested in nutrition. I get email from most of the popular dietary gurus, including Mark Hyman. This came from him today. I thought some of you might find it interesting.

The Extraordinary Science of Addictive Junk Food

It's official from industry insiders - the secrets of how the food industry creates food addicts, including hiring "craving experts" to design addictive junk. These are biggest drug pushers of our time. Food addiction is biological and we are victims. Obesity is NOT about personal responsibility - its about the secret science of intentional addictive drug creation and drug pushers. It's time for this to stop. Labels should say "THIS PRODUCT IS HIGHLY ADDICTIVE AND CAUSES OBESITY, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES AND CANCER"

This was an amazing article, thanks for sharing this. I know for myself, when I'm craving chocolate comes after I've been eating it. And it causes a vicious cycle, and the only way to feel better is to stop eating it - stop the cravings and feel better. And I also realized that when I don't hydrate, I eat more. I'm drinking my water again : )
