The Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast - A podcast by Tabitha Farrar

Categorie:

In this podcast Tabitha Farar talks to Maggie Westwater, one of the authors behind a study looking into misconceptions behind the notion of sugar addiction.  We talk about: - Animal studies into addiction and what they can tell us about human behaviour.  - What studies into drug and other types of addiction can tell us about "sugar addiction." - How restriction, not addiction, looks to be the driver behind binge eating behaviours.  - Artificial sweetners and how they affect the way we desire foods.  - Binge eating development and the role of restriction.  - Why "food addiction" can be a problematic use of language.    Paper we discussin in this podcast: Westwater, M.L., Fletcher, P.C. & Ziauddeen, H. Eur J Nutr (2016) 55(Suppl 2): 55. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00394-016-1229-6   Links to the study that Maggie Westwater spoke about:  Twitter handle (@STRIvE_Study) Official Health Research Authority page https://www.hra.nhs.uk/planning-and-improving-research/application-summaries/research-summaries/environmental-and-metabolic-determinants-of-binge-eating-behaviour/.    Support this podcast via Patreon!
