Oh, oh, oreo. Ever feel like you could eat the whole bag yourself? According to a new study youre not a glutton, youre addicted.
A student at Connecticut College found lab rats that ate oreos were just as strongly associated to them as lab rats that were injected with cocaine or morphine. (Via WNCN)
And, this sounds even more dangerous eating Oreos activated even more neurons in the pleasure centers of rats brains than those addicted drugs did. (Via YouTube / Oreo)

Heck. This thread reminds me of when my boys were little. I had them *convinced* that I *made* the Oreos.
It wasn't until first born went to school and came home with.......*Mom, there's a kid in my class whose mom bakes the same cookies as you.* Busted.

Yes. They did posts on skid-row alcoholics and found changes in brain chemistry usually associated with narc addition. I haven’t studied that stuff since the ‘80’s.
