 Study Reveals Concocting Food a Sign of Binge Eating Disorder: Eating many different kinds of food together like mashed potatoes and Oreos may represent binge eating.
Eating many different kinds of food together like mashed potatoes and Oreos may represent binge eating, according to a new study.The study conducted by University of Alabama at Birmingham showed that people who make food concoctions are more likely to be diagnosed with binge eating. Their study survey also showed that one out of every four people make strange food concoctions. The study included over 500 students from University of Alabama and University of Texas at El Paso along with 45 people who were being treated for eating disorders. About one in four participants said that they secretly created food concoctions. More than 40 percent of the study respondents said that they concocted food due to cravings and just 9 percent said that were hungry.

Food and Addiction:
The Dopamine Made Me Do It
 Pam Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, Keynote Speaker, iaedp Symposium 2013 Friday, March 22, 2013: 9 am
Two human behaviors explain why we're still here: engaging in sex and consuming food. Both are inextricably linked by dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with reward and pleasure. It's what motivates us to read all three volumes of Fifty Shades of Grey or to inhale a plate of mom's homemade oatmeal raisin cookies. To date, procreative activities have maintained their primal prerogative without too much deviation from nature's blueprint. Food production and consumption, on the other hand, have fallen prey to psychosocial, cultural and environmental factors that increase our collective girth and make us more vulnerable to disease. Researchers have recently uncovered a critical clue to help explain this problem-a link between food and addiction. PET scans utlizing radionucleotides have identified organic changes in the brain's reward center during active addiction, whether from food or drug addiction. Specifically, chronic exposure to the hyperpalatables--- sugary/fatty/salty food combinations--- appear to reduce the dopamine receptor population. This leads to a dramatic reduction in perceived pleasure and satisfaction which results in a cycle of seeking more of the food and consequently overeating. Functional MRI scans during active addiction have documented damage to the prefrontal cortex impairing the ability to rein in impulsivity. New treatments are based upon addiction models. Optimally they include a holistic template, integrating mental/behavioral, nutritional, and physical activity components to achieve successful detox and a sustainable lifelong recovery.
