Most of us know what it feels like to fall under the spell of food - a slice of pizza turns into half a pie, or a handful of chips leads to an empty bag. But it's harder to understand why this happens. When we want so badly to say "no," why do we continue to reach the food? Dr. David Kessler, the dynamic former FDA commissioner who reinvented the food label and tackled the tobacco industry, now cracks the code of overeating by explaining how our bodies and minds are changed when we consume foods that contain sugar, fat, and salt. He presents ground-breaking research from top scientists and physicians, as well as a controversial view inside the food industry - revealing how it has hijacked the brains of millions of North Americans by creating an endless cycle of craving and consumption. For the millions of people struggling with weight as well as for those of us who simply don't understand why we can't seem to stop eating, this bestselling book offers new insights and helpful solutions. There has never been a more thorough, compelling, or in-depth analysis of why we eat the way we do -- Book sleeve.
