What Study Shows Chromium Helps Carb Cravings in Depression

Q: I see in one of your blogs that Medscape is offering CME credits to physicians for the study of chromium's role in appetite and mood regulation. What study is the CME course based on? Will you tell me if there is some place, other than Medscape which requires registration, where I can find a discussion of that study?

A: I'll be happy to. The Science blog contains an excellent discussion of the study that demonstrated that chromium picolinate curbs carbohydrate craving in people with atypical depression.
