Food and what it does to us.

I found this article to be pretty interesting.  When I met my wife she had and still has led a healthy lifestyle, and she introduced that to me.  So it really doesn't surprise me that studies show certain foods, particularly processed foods are can be addicting.  My wife and I watched this documentary called "Fed Up", and it explains how the body reacts to sugar.  Some food products will have low calorie content, but in order to make it taste good, they just add a lot more sugar.  It also went as far to explain that sugar is sugar, whether it be honey, agave nectar, Sucralose etc. its all sugar, and it all makes your brain react the same way.  They compared how a brain looks while on drugs (I believe it was cocaine) and how your brain reacted on sugar, and sugar reacted similarly to the brain on drugs.  So, yes, it is possible to be addicted to certain foods based on the amount of sugar in it.  We believe the more we pay attention to what we put in our bodies, the better we feel.  We don't get as sick as often or feel sluggish.  Of course we splurge, but throughout the week, we make sure we have our meals throughout the day covered, whether it's leftovers, or we go grab a salad from the store.
