The aim of this study was the evaluation of the frequency of intake of individual food products and the estimation of food choice in the group of 117 opiate and alcohol addicted persons qualified to therapy in the Department of Clinical Toxicology CMUJ in Cracow. We also reviewed the frequency of food intake 86 non addicted persons living in Cracow. Food consumption quality was estimated with the use of the Questionnaire of Frequency Intake Food Products. The results showed many faults in the distribution of food consumption in all groups. Opiate abusing persons consumed milk, butter, plant fats, sugar and sweets more frequently than others. On the other hand alcohol abusers preferred to consumed eggs, meat, sausages and potatoes. We observed statistically important differences in consumption of food containing considerable amounts of sugar (bonbons, confectionery, cakes, sweets, chocolate) in the group of opiate addicted persons.
