From the page: "Eating meals together as a family can reduce a teen girl's risk of turning to alcohol or drugs, a new study suggests.
In families who ate at least five meals a week together, the teen girls were much less likely to drink alcohol, or smoke marijuana or cigarettes five years later, said study author Marla Eisenberg, an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Minnesota Medical School.
The same effect wasn't seen for boys in this study, although Eisenberg can't say why. "
The same has been found for anorexia.

From the page: "Researchers suggest that chocolate induces a delicious mood state that is so vastly different from the PMS-depressed-like mood state you were in when you bought the Dove Bar in the supermarket. Thus, it is this contrast in states of mind (blah versus ahh) that provides the 'hook' or belief that chocolate is addictive."

confessions of a food addict ...
From the page: "I can only liken my situation to that of a smokerâ€s: you know itâ€s bad for you, but you just canâ€t help but be addicted. I am guilty of not being disgusted enough. To atone for my bad eating habits, I am trying to go the way of Jared by eating at Subway. Unfortunately, I now eat subs in excess. While eating my sub at work, I was reading this guyâ€s blog about what the McDonaldâ€s chicken McNugget is really made of. An excerpt:
â€oeBut perhaps the most alarming ingredient in a Chicken McNugget is tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ, an antioxidant derived from petroleum that is either sprayed directly on the nugget or the inside of the box it comes in to â€oehelp preserve freshness.” According to A Consumerâ€s Dictionary of Food Additives, TBHQ is a form of butane (i.e. lighter fluid) the FDA allows processors to use sparingly in our food: It can comprise no more than 0.02 percent of the oil in a nugget. Which is probably just as well, considering that ingesting a single gram of TBHQ can cause â€oenausea, vomiting, ringing in the ears, delirium, a sense of suffocation, and collapse.” Ingesting five grams of TBHQ can kill.”"

a balanced view on the Maudsley treatment, an approach to the treatment of anorexia and bulimia using very intense family involvement. It's a great idea - but as often, one size does not fit all.
