A member asked:
If you laways ate one type of food and then just stopped, can your body have a withdrawal from food like withdrawal from alcohol or cigarettes?

Craving more than: Withdrawal. You may crave your favorite foods but there is no physiologic dependence on a particular type of food as is the case with addiction.

Be specific: Generally no, but what food are you thinking of? (most kids are "addicted" to peanut butter and go through a tough time if you take it away abruptly :).

Not likely: Alcohol & nicotine stimulate some very specific brain centers.Maybe some foods do, but i'd doubt a "withdrawal" syndrome.
