Why Can't We Stop Eating?? The Truth Behind Processed Food Addiction
This presentation offers a new explanation for the epidemic of overeating associated with a host of health problems including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, fatigue, depression, brain fog, memory loss, and ADD. In the 1980s, the tobacco industry took control of major processed food manufacturers. Dr. Joan Ifland will explain the addiction business model and how the tobacco industry has applied it to processed foods, and will share research suggesting that an epidemic of addiction to processed foods is driving overeating. Evidence for the brain alterations found in drug addiction are found in chronic consumers of processed foods. Find out whats really going on in the processed food industry, how its affecting your life, and what to do about it.
