Scientific review on Junk Food Addiction: Understanding Influences, methods to Control and Indian Alternatives

This paper delves into the observational study on junk food addiction, shedding light on its prevalence across different age groups and from different demographies. By observing their food habits and investigating the scientific triggers that cause them to consume despite knowing its adverse effects, as well as external influences like easy availability, peer groups, and parental behaviour, the research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the issue. The study also identifies hazardous chemicals associated with such foods and proposes methods to control and mitigate junk food addiction in a simple way from traditional Indian cuisine.
