It's easy to claim we're "addicted" to foods like the donuts from down the street or our beloved Thai takeout.
我們很容易說吃什么東西上癮，比如街那頭的甜甜圈，或者大愛的泰式外賣。
But while the concept of food addiction is controversial among researchers, there is growing evidence that highly-processed, fatty, sugary foods like pizza, chocolate, chips and cookies as uniquely problematic foods in people's lives.
盡管研究人員們對食物成癮的概念尚存爭論，但越來越多的證據(jù)表明，深度加工、富含脂肪和糖類的食物——如披薩、巧克力、薯條和餅干——在人們的生活中屬于特別有問題的食品。
In the latest study published on the subject, Dr. Nicole Avena of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai found that behaviors and attitudes surrounding some types of food closely followed addiction patterns.
美國西奈山伊坎醫(yī)學院的尼科爾.阿維納博士在該領(lǐng)域發(fā)表的最新研究論文中指出，人們對某些種類的食品所表現(xiàn)出的行為和態(tài)度都與成癮如出一轍。
She hopes her work might one day contribute to the next generation of obesity and eating disorder treatment.
她希望自己的工作有一天可以用于下一代肥胖癥及進食障礙的治療。
Notice anything? The foods that caused people the most mental distress and physical discomfort are also foods that are highly-processed or are high in added fats and sugars.
發(fā)現(xiàn)什么了嗎?會讓人們產(chǎn)生最多精神負擔和身體不適的食物，同時也是那些深度加工、富含人工添加脂肪和糖類的食物。
They're also more likely to have the highest levels of glycemic load, which is a measurement of how a food will raise a person's blood sugar level after eating it.
它們也最有可能產(chǎn)生最高的血糖負荷，而該指數(shù)可以測定一種食物吃下去之后會在多大程度上提高一個人的血糖水平。
Food addiction isn't an officially recognized addiction; the closest thing to it in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) is binge eating disorder.
食物成癮并不是一種正式認可的成癮癥;在《精神障礙診斷及統(tǒng)計手冊》(DSM-5)中與之最接近的是暴食癥。
But Avena, who has been researching food addiction for over 15 years, says that hers is the first clinical study to assess the connection between how people eat certain foods and the properties of that food —whether it be added fat, sugar or its highly-processed manufacture.
但是，已研究食物成癮逾15年的阿維納說，她的研究是第一份測定人們食用某些食物的方式與食物屬性之間有何關(guān)聯(lián)的臨床研究，這里的食物屬性包括人工添加脂肪、糖類或者深度加工。
