“…As reported in previous reviews Treasure et al, 2018;Hebebrand et al, 2014;Volkow & Wise, 2005;Volkow et al, 2017;Gordon, Ariel-Donges, Bauman, & Merlo, 2018), proponents of the FA model argue that there is sufficient scientific evidence to show that intake of certain high-calorie/palatable foods and addictive drugs produce similar neural responses (linked to reward pathways modulated by dopamine) and therefore, to some extent, support the assumption that some types of overeating and obesity constitute a food addiction (Gearhardt, Davis, Kuschner, & Brownell, 2011;Schulte, Avena, & Gearhardt, 2015;Schulte, Yokum, Potenza, & Gearhardt, 2016;Smith & Robbins, 2013;Wiss, Criscitelli, Gold, & Avena, 2017;Michaud, Vainik, Garcia-Garcia, & Dagher, 2017).…”

“…These include an abundance of cheap and highly processed food supplies within our supermarkets and a bias for such food production from many food companies. Further contributing factors include advertising for processed foods, cultural and societal changes, convenience of highly processed diets (with a reduced need for cooking from raw ingredients), highly abundant ‘fast-food’ outlets and the hedonic and potentially addictive effects of the unnatural sugar–fat combination that typifies many highly processed foods [ 83 ]. One problem with highly processed foods is that their fibre content tends to be lower than meals prepared from raw ingredients.…”

The Health Benefits of Dietary Fibre

Background: Dietary fibre consists of non-digestible forms of carbohydrate, usually as polysaccharides that originate from plant-based foods. Over recent decades, our diet within Westernised societies has changed radically from that of our hominid ancestors, with implications for our co-evolved gut microbiota. This includes increased ingestion of ultra-processed foods that are typically impoverished of dietary fibre, and associated reduction in the intake of fibre-replete plant-based foods. Over recent decades, there has been a transformation in our understanding of the health benefits of dietary fibre. Objective: To explore the current medical literature on the health benefits of dietary fibre, with a focus on overall metabolic health. Data Sources: We performed a narrative review, based on relevant articles written in English from a PubMed search, using the terms ‘dietary fibre and metabolic health’. Results: In the Western world, our diets are impoverished of fibre. Dietary fibre intake associates with overall metabolic health (through key pathways that include insulin sensitivity) and a variety of other pathologies that include cardiovascular disease, colonic health, gut motility and risk for colorectal carcinoma. Dietary fibre intake also correlates with mortality. The gut microflora functions as an important mediator of the beneficial effects of dietary fibre, including the regulation of appetite, metabolic processes and chronic inflammatory pathways. Conclusions: Multiple factors contribute to our fibre-impoverished modern diet. Given the plethora of scientific evidence that corroborate the multiple and varied health benefits of dietary fibre, and the risks associated with a diet that lacks fibre, the optimization of fibre within our diets represents an important public health strategy to improve both metabolic and overall health. If implemented successfully, this strategy would likely result in substantial future health benefits for the population.

“…Animal studies have demonstrated proof of the concept that manipulations of the food environment can produce “binge eating.” Putative risk factors including a period of undernutrition, followed by the intermittent addition of palatable food (high sugar and fat combinations) and stress (particularly social stress), have been shown to lead to “binge eating.” Interestingly, animals exposed to this food schedule exhibit signs of food addiction, such as physical withdrawal symptoms, when intermittent palatable sucrose intake is followed by administration of an opioid antagonist . These animals are also more vulnerable to developing other addictive behaviours .…”

Are trans diagnostic models of eating disorders fit for purpose? A consideration of the evidence for food addiction

Explanatory models for eating disorders have changed over time to account for changing clinical presentations. The transdiagnostic model evolved from the maintenance model, which provided the framework for cognitive behavioural therapy for bulimia nervosa. However, for many individuals (especially those at the extreme ends of the weight spectrum), this account does not fully fit. New evidence generated from research framed within the food addiction hypothesis is synthesized here into a model that can explain recurrent binge eating behaviour. New interventions that target core maintenance elements identified within the model may be useful additions to a complex model of treatment for eating disorders.
