Claims from

Higher work stress is associated with an intention to eat less healthy.
The DRD2 gene moderates the effect of work stress on intention to eat healthy. People with the AA genotype do not have an association between work stress and intention to eat healthy, but people with a C allele tend to report worse dietary intentions when stressed.
