Fast food addiction



This article shows several opinion about fast foods are addictive like narcotic drugs or not. This story related to a fast food section I chose this story because It was an interesting data.

Scientists suggested that fast food like hamburger or french fries are as addictive as heroin. Researcher in US found an evidence that people can become obesity caused by the sugar and fat in fast food. According to Dr. John Hoebel's research, the rats that fed by a diet containing 25 percent of sugar are become anxiety when the sugar is removed. The rats' symtoms just like people who withdrawed from nicotine or morphine. He found that high fat food stimulates opioids or pleasure chemical in the brain. According to Ann Kelly, a neuroscientist of the University of Wisconsin Medical School. She found a relationship between the brain's pleasure chemical and d craving for this type of food by stimulating opioid in the rats' brain that caused the rats eat up to six times from their normal intake of fat. It is like extended use of heroin or morphine.

In conclusion, fast foods that contain a lot of sugar and fat can stimulate the addiction like heroin or morphine does. I learn about the chemical substances in fast food. It would help to describe the nutritions of the product in my term paper. I would like to know how to control it.
