Food is addictive indeed
Food could be as addictive as class-A drug heroin and nicotine in cigarettes, claims a new study.
Researchers have found substance abuse and food with a high glycaemic index – such as white bread and potatoes – may trigger the same brain mechanism tied to addiction.
Eating highly processed carbohydrates can cause excess hunger and stimulate brain regions involved in reward and cravings, according to the study.
