'Globesity' is a descriptive term for the @entity28 epidemic now facing the U.S. and indeed, the world. @entity7298 (i.e. overeating) can lead to @entity209 which in turn can lead to @entity6 , @entity299 , @entity64 and some @entity5 . The World Health Organization even states that more @entity1 die each year from the consequences of @entity28 than from hunger. Something must be done to stem the tsunami of @entity28 and its resultant medical complications. Our work and that of others suggests that new @entity28 treatments and anti- @entity28 medications should be based on those already successful in treating other addictions. This paper looks at empirical evidence linking addictions to food and to drugs such as @entity286 , @entity167 , @entity835 , @entity889 , and @entity2072 . Hypotheses are put forth as to why @entity7298 is so difficult to treat. Additionally, prenatal programming for addiction is explored. Lessons from successful drug treatment are elucidated and potential pharmaceutical targets for @entity7298 and @entity28 are suggested.
