食品伙伴網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)外媒報道,"食物上癮"(food addiction)越來越成為過度飲食的代名詞。對此英國利茲大學(xué)心理科學(xué)教授布朗德(John Blundell)警告,不要濫用"上癮"。
布朗德說,有些人將食物上癮與藥物上癮聯(lián)系起來,以此作為暴飲暴食的理由?,F(xiàn)有的證據(jù)不能界定食物上癮的精確特征,也無法界定導(dǎo)致所謂的上癮危險的飲食環(huán)境。應(yīng)該以平常心對此分析,對行為原因作出理性的判斷。

While it is possible that a very small percentage of the population - about 5% - could be 'food addicts', the idea of food addiction is exaggerated, said professor John Blundell, who holds a chair in psychobiology at the Institute of Psychological Sciences at the University of Leeds.
"The term food addiction is being used too freely as an explanation for overeating," said Blundell. "The condition has been described in the clinical literature for decades; only recently has the term food addiction been applied on a much larger scale to implicate millions of people and to be compared with drug addiction."
