mcdonalds Each week, and even more often, you precipitate into a fast-food, you do not conceive the life without burger-chips. And if you were accro? It is the question which certain scientists ask. But can fast-food industry act like a drug? Then, do you have to try to take down?

The chains of fast-food industry made amazing great strides in the whole world since many years. But this success would it be related to unsuspected virtues of burgers and others fried?

Drugged rats

According to American researchers, the meals rich in calories could act like drugs. To arrive at this conclusion, they studied the behavior of rats. They gave them rations richer in sugar (+ 25 %), then they withdrew this surplus. They then noted that the rats showed all the symptoms of lack: tremors, slapping of teeth… According to the researchers, these rodents presented a syndrome of weaning identical to that which exists for nicotine or of morphine.

Better than sex!

The scientists stress that the food is very powerful activators of the centers of the pleasure. According to certain studies, at the time of a good meal the stimulation of the system known as “dopaminergique” is close to that of an orgasm! And it is this same system which is activated during the drug taking. This similarity tips the scales on the side of the addiction towards the mets rich in sugar and greases, and thus of fast-food. For this reason, the chocolate had besides also suspected him of causing dependences. But many specialists reject these conclusions because there does not exist any real proof of this action.

Are you a burger-addict?

The analogy with drugs does not stop here. The scientists say that the fact to continuously eating meals rich in greases will put out of order the hormonal mechanisms which control the appetite. Indeed, the fast-food, associated with an overweight, could involve the appearance of resistances to the leptine for example, substance which controls the feeling of hunger. As for a drug, it would then be necessary for us to eat to be satisfied always more. This mechanism, associated with the “dependence” could thus to a certain extent, explain the spiral of the overweight and obesity.

Fast-food = tobacco

The analogy between fast-food and drug was not solely evoked by the scientists. American obese people did not hesitate to attack Mc Donald’ S, KFC and other Burger King in justice. The chains of restorations have been accusated to have cause the health issues of these consumers. But these people remained on their hunger: they were reject the request in justice. For justice, the burgers alone are not responsible for the epidemic of obesity, and their addictogene capacity is called into question.

It will be necessary to wait several studies to determine this addictif potential. Then if you like burgers, wait a little before jumping on chopped steak…

So are you addict to Mcdo?

I admit myself that i love Mcdonalds, their burgers and their fries and potatoes, they taste are so good! <3 But i try to fix my limits and my rules are: only 4 fast-foods per month! Each of my Mcdo-meals contains fries, burger, coca and sometimes a Sunday or a Mcflurry. <3

    I believe anything that is in excess will give us nothing good in return. If we are or someone is a “Mcdo burger addict”, then that would probably mean eating more of the artificially prepared foods than what our body usually needs. With that said, a lot of chemicals in our body will react (appropriately) to the food components that we ingest, and the resulting reactions may simply be a natural elimination of digested foods…
    However, our body can only eliminate such artificial chemicals for a definite period, and so our body tries to cope up, which may often restrain other body functions.. and bring up intense response mechanisms..

    So, is Mcdo a drug? Scientifically-speaking, the foods prepared in Mcdo are artificially-prepared and may include some chemicals that are part of the unique ingredients that give their burgers the yummy taste…

    A related, and good documentary I’ve watched related to this is the film “Supersize Me”.. obviously, being addicted to Mcdo or perhaps other artificially prepared foods may bring bad health effects.

    I’m also sharing some interesting health-related tips in my blog LoveHandles..please feel free to stopby anytime…

    Thanks,

    In my opinion, McDonald is definetly a drug, because people are addicted to McDonalds, they want to eat breakfast, lunch and diner, but they don’t realise that they gain in weight, that’s the problem!

    Once you get used to eating healthy just the thought of Mcdonalds makes you sick. I do love the fries though but to me the burgers taste salty (sodium)…

    Most people can’t get away from MCDo, yeah i agree it is more like a drug for me. Sure i can’t get away with it but i can reduce it from my daily meals by changing my daily meals randomly.
