Clinical Considerations of Ultra-processed Food Addiction Across Weight Classes: an Eating Disorder Treatment and Care Perspective

David Wiss

Summary: This review examines the prevalence rates of ultra-processed food addiction across different weight classes and provides guidelines for diagnosis and treatment. The weighted mean prevalence of ultra-processed food addiction is approximately 20% worldwide, but varies widely based on the sample. The relationship between ultra-processed food addiction and BMI class appears to be linear and J-shaped, with increased prevalence among the underweight. Additional factors such as eating disorders and mental health diagnoses need to be considered in the assessment of food addiction symptoms.

The concept of food addiction helps inform the understanding of overeating and obesity: YES

Ashley N. Gearhardt et al.

Summary: Highly processed foods, similar to addictive substances, have reinforcing properties that can lead to compulsive consumption, loss of control over intake, cravings, and negative consequences. These foods are more effective in activating reward-related neural systems and can trigger withdrawal and tolerance processes. The negative impact of highly processed foods on public health underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing addictive patterns of food intake.

The concept of food addiction helps inform the understanding of overeating and obesity: NO

Johannes Hebebrand et al.

Summary: The concept of food addiction, although complex, cannot be simply defined by transferring the diagnostic criteria for substance use disorders. It requires careful consideration of exclusion of other physical and psychological disorders, as well as the physiological need related to maintaining a high body weight. Additionally, the high prevalence of food addiction in intentional weight loss and anorexia nervosa patients further challenges the validity of this concept.

The concept of food addiction helps inform the understanding of overeating and obesity: Debate Consensus

Ashley N. Gearhardt et al.

Summary: The scientific debate about whether unhealthy, highly processed foods are addictive and contribute to overeating and obesity has identified points of consensus, but disagreements remain regarding the strength of evidence, conceptual framework, and societal implications. Future research is needed to address existing gaps in the scientific literature, particularly regarding measures to evaluate whether highly processed foods are addictive.

Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS): performance in a clinical sample in relation to PHQ-9 and GAD-7

Neha Shah et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the construct validity and sensitivity to change of the Short Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (SWEMWBS) as an outcome measure in the treatment of common mental disorders (CMD) in primary care settings. Results show that SWEMWBS is acceptable as a CMD outcome measure in primary care settings, with good construct validity and sensitivity to change. Correlations were found between SWEMWBS scores and PHQ-9/GAD-7 scores, indicating significant improvements over time in all three scales.

The carbohydrate-insulin model: a physiological perspective on the obesity pandemic

David S. Ludwig et al.

Summary: The obesity pandemic may be not only caused by excessive consumption of high-energy foods and lack of exercise, but also related to biological mechanisms. The carbohydrate-insulin model proposes a new cognitive framework, emphasizing hormonal responses to a high glycemic load diet.
