The End of Overeating
by Jhet Bhlak on July 10, 2009
I’ve been hearing a lot about this book by David Kessler called The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite
. I think I first heard about it on Wisconsin Public radio one night when driving home from work. I didn’t catch all of the show but what I heard was fascinating. The author was talking about how the food industry intentionally modifies foods so that it triggers the pleasure centers of your brain so that you want more. The problem is that this causes you to overeat and is at least partially responsible for the obesity epidemic going on in America today.
The author of The End of Overeating has some credentials behind him as well. He is the former FDA commisioner and graduated from Harvard with an M.D. degree.
I had completely forgot about the radio show until I ran across another article on womenshealthmag.com today. If I can find the link to a podcast of the radio show I’ll post it here.
