  Food Addiction and Ulta-Processed Food Dependency are diseases typified by loss of control over the ability to stop eating certain foods. Scientifically, food addiction is a cluster of chemical dependencies on specific foods or food substances. After ingesting highly palatable foods, such as those containing significant amounts of sugar, flour, excess fat, and/or salt, some people’s brains crave these foods. In addition, the more processed a food or substance is, the greater its addictive potential. Over time, the progressive eating of these foods distorts a person’s thinking and leads to negative consequences they do not want but cannot stop. What follows is a description of these phenomena and how they are like and different from eating disorders. Further, the book explores the utilization of a substance abuse treatment model as it applies to recovering from these addictive and compulsive disorders.

  Gulp - Adventures on the...

  The irresistible, ever-curious, and always bestselling Mary Roach returns with a new adventure to the invisible realm we carry around inside. 
   
  "America’s funniest science writer" (Washington Post) takes us down the hatch on an unforgettable tour. The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: the questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn't the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts? Can constipation kill you? Did it kill Elvis? In Gulp we meet scientists who tackle the questions no one else thinks of―or has the courage to ask. We go on location to a pet-food taste-test lab, a fecal transplant, and into a live stomach to observe the fate of a meal. With Roach at our side, we travel the world, meeting murderers and mad scientists, Eskimos and exorcists (who have occasionally administered holy water rectally), rabbis and terrorists―who, it turns out, for practical reasons do not conceal bombs in their digestive tracts. 
   
  Like all of Roach's books, Gulp is as much about human beings as it is about human bodies.

  The Cholera Years - The United...

  Charles E. Rosenberg

  • 0

  Cholera was the classic epidemic disease of the nineteenth century, as the plague had been for the fourteenth. Its defeat was a reflection not only of progress in medical knowledge but of enduring changes in American social thought. Rosenberg has focused his study on New York City, the most highly developed center of this new society. Carefully documented, full of descriptive detail, yet written with an urgent sense of the drama of the epidemic years, this narrative is as absorbing for general audiences as it is for the medical historian. In a new Afterword, Rosenberg discusses changes in historical method and concerns since the original publication of The Cholera Years. 
   
  “A major work of interpretation of medical and social thought . . . this volume is also to be commended for its skillful, absorbing presentation of the background and the effects of this dread disease.”—I.B. Cohen, New York Times 
   
  ”The Cholera Years is a masterful analysis of the moral and social interest attached to epidemic disease, providing generally applicable insights into how the connections between social change, changes in knowledge and changes in technical practice may be conceived.”—Steven Shapin, Times Literary Supplement 
   
  ”In a way that is all too rarely done, Rosenberg has skillfully interwoven medical, social, and intellectual history to show how medicine and society interacted and changed during the 19th century. The history of medicine here takes its rightful place in the tapestry of human history.”—John B. Blake, Science

  Ichthyology - Fish of the World...

  Ichthyology is the branch of zoology dedicated to the study of fish, encompassing their biology, classification, evolution, and ecological roles. Fish, as one of the most diverse and widespread vertebrate groups, inhabit nearly every aquatic environment on Earth, from the deepest ocean trenches to high-altitude freshwater streams. Ichthyology provides essential insights into the anatomy, physiology, behavior, and adaptation of fish, making it a critical field for understanding aquatic ecosystems and their conservation. 
  The scope of ichthyology extends beyond mere classification, delving into the intricate relationships fish share with their environment and other organisms. Researchers in this field examine the evolutionary history of fish, tracing their origins from primitive jawless species to the highly specialized forms seen today. With over 34,000 known species, fish display an incredible range of adaptations, including bioluminescence, electrolocation, and unique reproductive strategies. By studying these adaptations, ichthyologists gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity of aquatic life and the factors driving evolutionary change. 
  Ichthyology is also crucial for understanding the ecological balance of aquatic systems. Fish play key roles in food chains, acting as both predators and prey, regulating populations of other aquatic organisms, and contributing to nutrient cycling. Their interactions with their habitats can indicate the overall health of ecosystems, making them valuable bioindicators. Studying fish populations and their responses to environmental changes helps scientists predict and mitigate the effects of climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction.
