Quote:

Nearly half of older adults (44%) indicated at least one symptom of addiction to highly processed food. The most common symptoms were intense cravings (24% at least once a week), inability to cut down intake despite a desire to do so (19% at least 2–3 times a week), and signs of withdrawal (17% at least once a week). About one in eight adults age 50–80 (12%) reported that their eating behavior caused them a lot of distress at least 2–3 times a week, and 9% indicated their intake of highly processed foods caused significant problems in their life at least 2–3 times a week.
