If you haven't heard about this study yet, you will soon. Nature Neuroscience just published a study that sought to explore just how addicting food can be.

I'll explain the study, and let me know what you think in the comments section here.

The study was done on 3 groups of rats.
Group #1: No access to fatty foods.
Group #2: Access to fatty foods for 1 hour per day.
Group #3: Unlimited access to fatty foods.

In the study, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, Paul J. Kenny Ph.D. and his co-author studied three groups of lab rats for 40 days.

One of the groups was fed regular rat food. A second was fed bacon, sausage, cheesecake, frosting, and other fattening, high-calorie foods--but only for one hour each day. The third group was allowed to pig out on the unhealthy foods for up to 23 hours a day.

Read the results.
