Addiction is addiction; it doesn't matter if it's a food addiction, or an addition to alcohol, prescription drugs, shopping, gambling, etc. The symptoms of addiction are the same. There are certain behaviors that are common among all addicts. There are a number of online sites that discuss the signs of addiction: http://addictions.about.com/od/howaddictionhappens/a/symptomslist.htm offers a nice overview AND specifically food addiction: http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/mental-health-food-addiction -- Keep in mind that it is very common for parents to experience a great deal of denial with regard to addiction in a minor child. Denial is far easier than actually dealing with the problem. While you can gently offer them information, there is nothing you can do to fix them or your nephew. He has to come to terms with the fact that there is a problem, then his parents must do the same before anyone can get help.
