"Food can be just like a drug to certain people who have a certain disposition to addiction," notes Elissa Epel from the Center for Obesity Assessment, Study and Treatment, University of California, San Francisco in the 7-part video series called “The Skinny on Obesity” (Episode 4).

“Is it that becoming obese has changed their brain chemistry, or is it that they were born with this predisposition, and that caused them to become obese?”

“It is very likely that it is a little of each.”
