A Comprehensive Handbook
The food environment has changed dramatically and is now dominated by foods with unnaturally high levels of sugar, fat, and salt that are intensely rewarding. Scientific evidence has increased rapidly in the last few decades that these types of foods are capable of triggering addictive processes, which may be a key driver in the rising rates of obesity and diet-related disease around the globe.
