SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Caswell Diabetes Institute Community Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Understanding Addictive Eating\nLearn about the complex relationship between food addiction\, obesity\, and the underlying neurobiological mechanisms. We will explore the impact of dietary factors\, dopamine signaling\, and behavioral patterns on food addiction and obesity. This interactive session will dive into how highly processed foods are designed to trigger cravings\, the psychological effects of targeted advertising\, why certain groups may be more vulnerable to these influences\, and the brain mechanisms that underlie the response to addictive foods.\n\nAshley Gearhardt\, Ph.D. \nClinical Science Area Chair and Professor of Psychology \nUniversity of Michigan

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Caswell Diabetes Institute Community Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:Bad Things in Good Foods\nDid you know that some of the foods we eat every day— fruits\, vegetables\, and even so-called “health foods”— can contain invisible chemicals and toxic substances? Learn how these “bad things in good foods” may influence how our bodies grow\, develop\, and maintain heart and metabolic health. We will examine the surprising connections between what’s on our plate and long-term risks for conditions like diabetes and heart disease.\n\nKaren E. Peterson\, ScD\nStanley M.
