Overeating and substance abuse are similar disorders
The report is a summary of evidence presented last month at a conference sponsored by the National Hispanic Science Network on Drug Abuse. Several scientific presentations promoted the idea that addictive drugs hijack the normal food reward system that humans need to survive.

Searching among all of our 20,000 or so genes for a few that are involved in a complex disease can be quite costly and time consuming. That is why researchers often use what they and others know about a disease to narrow their focus down to a smaller number of "candidate genes".
