A study asked 120 people to rate the addictiveness of 35 foods. The top 10 most addictive foods were all highly processed, with the exception of cheese. These highly processed foods like pizza, chocolate, chips and cookies are quickly absorbed and provide high doses of refined carbohydrates, similar to addictive drugs. The least addictive foods included cucumbers, brown rice, salmon and other foods with no added fat or refined carbohydrates. People with higher BMIs reported greater problems resisting the most addictive foods.

of abuse? The most addictive foods are highly processed, according to a new study of what people find hardest to resist. Highly processed foods also share many qualities with drugs that people abuse.
People take high doses and the refined
carbohydrates are quickly absorbed into the system. The new study, published in the journal PLOS ONE, asked 120 people to rate the most addictive foods from a list of 35 (Schulte et al., 2015). Heres the list: 1. Pizza 2. Chocolate 3. Chips 4. Cookies 5. Ice cream 6. French fries 7. Cheeseburger 8. Soda (non diet) 9. Cake 10. Cheese Along with cheese, the only other non-highly processed food remotely close to the top of the list of addictive foods was bacon.
Most addictive foods high in fat
Most of the foods considered addictive were high in fat and likely to raise blood sugar quickly.
The least addictive foods which included brown
rice and salmon were those with no refined carbohydrates and no added fat. The people who reported the greatest problems with the most addictive foods were those who had higher body mass indexes. This could suggest some people are particularly susceptible to the most addictive foods. Erica Schulte, a doctoral student and the studys first author, said: If properties of some foods are associated with addictive eating for some people, this may impact nutrition guidelines, as well as public policy initiatives such as marketing these foods to children, Dr Nicole Avena, one of the studys co-authors and an assistant professor of pharmacology and systems therapeutics, said: This is a first step towards identifying specific foods, and properties of foods, which can trigger this addictive response. This could help change the way we approach obesity treatment.
It may not be a simple matter of cutting back on
certain foods, but rather, adopting methods used to curtail smoking, drinking and drug use. And right down at the other end of the list, what was the least addictive food? Cucumber. Sounds about right. Here is the bottom of the list with the all important least addictive foods:
Strawberries Corn (no butter or salt) Salmon Banana Broccoli Brown rice (no sauce) Apple Beans (no sauce) Carrots Cucumber (no dip!)
