Default Over eating - Addiction?

I don't know if any of you have heard of this, but I was watching television late last evening. (couldn't sleep). I was watching TLC and they had the half ton man (Patrick Deue) on.

During the program they had mentioned that obesity could be or is link to a chemical imbalance of the brain chemical dopamine.

I was able to find an article on.

Obesity linked to brain chemical

Here it is.

Just thought I'd share this with you.

Thanks, Anik.

I had to move this from the news forum, because the article is several years old. Nevertheless, it is interesting. I believe there has been further research since then and if I find a link, I'll post it.
