198. Dynorphins: This Brain Chemical Is Why You’re Addicted to Junk Food

The same brain circuits involved in drug and alcohol addiction are hijacked by ultra-processed foods, and dynorphins are the key players.

Scientific research shows that blocking these receptors reduces binge eating in animal studies, offering hope for new therapeutic approaches to food addiction.
