Hey guys, i'm back with another topic that I thought was very interesting. Today i'll be talking about oreos and if they are as addictive as cocaine. Studies show that rats treat oreos as addictive as cocaine. scientists at Connecticut College conducted an experiment on rats using a maze with rice cakes at one end and oreos on the other. The rats were observed on both sides of the maze.
The experiment results were compared with previous tests done on rats that were given shots of morphine or cocaine on one side of the maze and saline on the other. The study showed that the rats the weren't given shots of morphine, cocaine, or saline had spent as much time on the side with oreos as the rats that were given shots of morphine, cocaine, or saline did. Also, according to the studies, rats liked to eat the filling of the oreo first, just like many humans do. The studies also showed that oreos activated more neurons than the morphine or cocaine. So when you have a craving for oreos, blame it on your brain chemistry.
That's all for today guys, see you next week.
