So ..
Withdrawal from “oreo addiction” will be dangerous enough to be considered life threatening?
An “oreo addict” will have to constantly increase their volume of consumption, in order to achieve the same effects?
An “oreo addict” will see a progressive downturn in virtually every aspect of their life?
An “oreo addict” will undergo a progressive change to personality that renders the person almost unrecognizable?
An “oreo addict” will see his body functions change as an adaptive response (like alcoholics who eventually become unable to process nutrients, since their bodies adapt in the expectation of using alcohol as a food source)?
This new and improved definition of “addiction” is garbage, and an insult to people suffering from real addiction (changed, incidentally, in order to classify tobacco as addictive, when the older definition of “habit-forming” was actually the accurate classification).
Even so, these "scientists" will attract plenty of grant money to continue their "research" of this serious problem.
