High fat foods leads to food addiction

[crazycanuck]

nevermind...I get annoyed by "the latest research says"...

Heheh - cc, I'm not a scientist by profession but by nature, and this is my take on it:

- people "know" a whole lot of things that aren't true, or just partly true
- even when they are true, people often don't know why, or have a misconception as to why.

There is an enormous difference between experiencing for yourself that eating burgers daily makes you crave them, and "proving" (science doesn't really do that, but no matter) that eating high-fat junk food essentially rewires the brain to the point that these rats rather starved themselves than eat healthily, that there was a high level of addiction, and that people could be born with a predisposition to this kind of food addiction.

I agree that the study did seem flawed, but the results were very interesting anyway.
