Oreos As Addictive As *******? For Rats, At Least

**deadpool9** · 10-16-2013, 06:09 AM

I've never done *******, but I can confirm oreo's are in fact a habit forming food.

True story:
At my last job, one of the owners brought in a pack of oreos for a snack one day, and left them in the break room. His brother (the other owner) came in later and found out they were his brother's. He proceeds to open each oreo, eat all the filling, then put the cookies back together and put them all back in the pack. At break time, the first brother ate like 3 before he realized the filling was gone, then found out it was gone from all of them. Was funny seeing his reaction.

As a former ******* addict, I can confirm.

Not srs.

But they are addictive.

**Lvisaa2** · 10-16-2013, 07:42 AM

I'd love to see the study, because from how I see that they are using CPP, it is not saying that they are equally addictive. It is saying that rats prefer oreos over rice cakes on equivalent levels of how they prefer ******* over a saline solution. The REAL study would be to use CPP and measure whether they prefer the associated location with ******* or oreos more. I'm pretty sure which one they'd choose.

Wtf??? Who does that???

**WMLifting** · 10-16-2013, 07:50 AM

I saw this on the news this morning. I can believe they are addicting, but I have never done ******* so i can not relate.

**StephSkywalker** · 10-16-2013, 07:51 AM

Wasn't there a recent study done using real addicts that concluded that ******* wasn't that addictive?

**PhiSig2298** · 10-16-2013, 08:04 AM

Oreos dipped in PB during my wife's first pregnancy helped me get to 285 lbs. I was addicted

Sympathycravings/10.. I wasn't a fan of oreos until my wife was prego. I was a choc chip cookie guy

FYI: The actual experiment, which has not been peer reviewed and has not been presented yet, was performed on mice, which were placed in a maze, with one end holding an Oreo and the other end holding a rice cake.

What did this prove? Well, at best, it's strongly suggestive that some mice prefer to eat Oreos over rice cakes, which means that that mice might prefer cookies to tasteless discs with a styrofoam texture.

**gymjunki3** · 10-16-2013, 02:43 PM

timtams > Oreos

come @ me yankee's

I can confirm. I am mouse.

**miacanesfan25** · 10-16-2013, 03:36 PM

I can confirm if you're more addicted to Oreos than ******* it's time to find a new dealer.

**PAU1** · 10-17-2013, 09:19 AM

This makes for a sensational headline but common sense will lead you to conclude which one is more likely to keep you coming back if you've got equal access to both and no moral obligation to reject either.
"WTF, the white stuff is mostly baking soda."

**IIIWolverineIII** · 10-17-2013, 09:20 AM

I used to do lines off grocery store cookies for years.

... Maybe it was the oreos all along

**imJB** · 10-17-2013, 09:21 AM

im eating oreos at the moment, sup?

**copiusGains** · 10-17-2013, 09:23 AM

It's TRUE!!!, everytime my mom brings oreos, I end up eating the ENTIRE pack. I had to be tested for diabetes, but my a1c was a 5.3, which isn't great but not exacly in the diabetic range

**Geoloop** · 10-17-2013, 09:54 AM

Oreos arent that great anyway...

**Chuck2600** · 10-17-2013, 11:03 AM

They should have made the heading "******* is less addictive than Oreos". This puts a much more positive perspective on it; I mean, if ******* is less addictive than oreos, how bad can ******* be?

Amirite?

What is the concept behind sugar being addictive? Is it something to do with the secretion of serotonin? Or is it another hormone? How valid is the case for the addictive nature of "sugar"? And are we talking glucose or fructose? Or does sucrose or HFCS somehow react different (which I wouldn't understand why)?

So exercise is also addictive. Yeah, dopamine and serotonin are both released.

"Dopamine production is boosted by the consumption of certain foods, especially those containing the amino acid tyrosine."

Protein also addictive I guess?

I don't get why stimulation of a "happy" hormone is bad? Surely it would be a good thing?
