I don't suffer from an uncontrollable appetite, but for those who do, I would imagine that compulsive-anything is undesirable and eliminating it is an unambiguously positive miracle.

If a drug can cure an out-of-control appetite, can it cure chemical addictions? Compulsive gambling? None of these are beautiful emotions.

Funny you should say that. There's mounting anecdotal evidence that GL-1's curb addiction more generally, including the two you mentioned, SUD/chemical and gambling. There are currently trials underway to try and prove that scientifically.
