BrightFoods: Discover the Surprising Link between Food and Learning, Memory, Mood, and Performance

Dr Cocores is a nutritional neuropsychiatrist who believes that obesity, popularly believed to be a disease strictly of the body, is actually a disease of the brain. ÒObesity, a symptom of addictive food dependence, is at an all-time high in our country yet no one has addressed the crucial connection between how the chemistry of the mind affects appetite. Once people realize that they may actually be hooked on addictive foods that fuel ongoing cravings they are able to understand exactly why they canÕt eat just one potato chip, or eat the whole pie.Ó Mark S. Gold, M.D., Professor and Chief at the McKnight Brain Institute states, ÒAddictions, have been thought to be the exclusive province of drugs of abuse, like cocaine or heroin. More recently, food has been considered a substance of abuse, with morbid obesity, diabetes and other consequences the result of a pathological attachment to food. What we eat causes profound changes in the brain.Ó
