A recent study has been done that tested Oreos to see how addictive they were. They were given to rats and the Scientists monitored there brain activity. In the study the rats brains lighted up in the same areas as it would in someone who had done drugs like Cocaine. It also showed increased activity in the brain after consuming or even looking at foods with high fat, high sugar foods like cookies and Ice cream. Some scientists believe that the brain craves junk food like it craves addictive substances, and like addictive substances the brain has responses to it not getting it's crave filled like caffeine headaches.
Do you think that food is addictive like this? Have you ever been addicted to a food like this? Does it surprise you that Oreos are that addictive?

Good story but only replied once.
I think that some food can be addictive. I don't like oreos, but I do know how a lot of people love oreos, and so it doesn't surprise me how the researchers say they can be addictive.
I can easily believe that food can be addictive, especially junk food. That is why I think people have such a hard time cutting back on the amount of unhealthy foods that they eat. So overall, it doesn't really surprise me that Oreos are addictive.
I believe that food and Oreos are addictive like this. I know if my family could, we would finish a whole family sized package in less than 20 minutes. I don't eat a lot of candy and junk food but I love sweet things like fruit snacks and I don't think I could go without them for a day.
It doesn't surprise me that they are addictive. It seems that foods that people get addicted to are foods that require no cooking. i have been addicted to foods like chips, ice cream, deer jerky, and deer sausage. As you can see none of them require cooking.
I definitely think that food is addictive. I think Oreos are really good but I think it's not just Oreos that have this affect on people. I know I've felt this way about chips or something else that is really good. It's crazy how fast we can get addicted to something.
Foods can be very addictive to you, especially junk food. Your so addicted that you eat so much of it then you get sick of it. It can be a good or bad thing. It doesn't surprise me that oreos are addicting.
I believe that Oreos can be addictive along with other junk food... It takes a lot of self control to eat just one Oreo and I definitely don't have that kind of self control.
I agree that foods can be very addictive especially fattening foods.
Food can be addictive like this. Its crazy when you get home from school and how much your craving any type of junk food or candy. It is not surprising to me that Oreos are addicting. It is a junk food. In my opinion everything that is junk food is addicting. You can't just have 1 Oreo and be done. Usually people have more.
