macht schwer süchtig (Fortsetzung)

Das war vor kurzem mein Thema. Und nun -- jetzt bin ich an der Quelle:

Nature Neuroscience 13, 529 - 531 (2010). -- Cheesecake-eating rats and the question of food addiction. David H Epstein1 & Yavin Shaham

...

Rats given extended access to high-fat high-sugar food show behavioral and physiological changes that are similar to those caused by drugs of abuse. However, parallels between drug and food “addiction” should be drawn with caution. ... But can eating, even in an unhealthy, seemingly compulsive way, be legitimately labeled an addiction?

Eine Frage also erst einmal, keine These, was den Menschen angeht.
