Dr. David A. Kessler, the dynamic and controversial former FDA commissioner known for his crusade against the tobacco industry, is taking on another business that's making Americans sick: the food industry. In The End of Overeating, Dr. Kessler shows us how our brain chemistry has been hijacked by the foods we most love to eat: those that contain stimulating combinations of fat, sugar, and salt. Drawn from the latest brain science as well as interviews with top physicians and food industry insiders, The End of Overeating exposes the food industry's aggressive marketing tactics and reveals shocking facts about how we lost control over food--and what we can do to get it back. For the millions of people struggling with their weight as well as those of us who simply can't seem to eat our favorite foods in moderation, Dr. Kessler's cutting-edge investigation offers valuable insights and practical answers for America's largest-ever public health crisis. There has never been a more thorough, compelling, or in-depth analysis of why we eat the way we do.

For yrs I said I was addicted to sugar and some junk foods. Kessler cites the studies proving it and documents as an insider how hard
the food industry works to make us addicts to blends of fats, sugar, salt and artificial flavoring (chemicals). 60 Minutes did a show.

What Food Addiction Is All About
Dr. Kessler has the gift of expressing something that is near and dear to my heart. I am absolutely certain that I am addicted to refined carbohydrates and that I cannot practice moderation when it comes to sugar and flour. I am thankful that I have a 12-step program where I can learn from and share with other people whose addiction is as critical as mine.
I'm 71 years young and have been fighting food addiction for most of my adult life. I have tried to eat like "normal" people, but to no avail. Once I have had my first bite of an addictive substance it sets off a chain of continuous binge eating. I rarely eat because I am hungry...I more often than not eat over whatever is eating me. It can be sad or it can be glad...it doesn't matter.
I am currently close to my goal weight with an overall loss of 86 pounds at this writing. I know that I am only one bite away from a living "hell." This book can save lives and I am grateful to the author for his insight and experience.
