There is evidence to support that when we eat it releases dopamine into the pleasure centers of the brain. We are hardwired this way to survive as a species. Food good - no food bad. Some think that junk foods give us a higher dose. This explains a lot about my cravings. Food addictions are just as real and serious as drugs and alcohol. I feel blessed to have found a supportive community here at FS, in dealing with my addiction.
