Description
Kevin and Sky talk about why you can't put down the box of Oreos? There might be a compelling biological reason for that. New research suggests that sugary, fatty treats can elicit the same reaction and activate the brain in a similar manner as cocaine and morphine, at least in lab rats. Joseph Schroeder, an assistant professor of psychology and director of the Behavioral Neuroscience Center at Connecticut College, is expected to present the study, which has not yet been published, next month at the Society for Neuroscience conference in San Diego, Calif. Oreos weren't specifically singled out for their ability to trigger a snack attack, they were just a handy device to get enough fat and sugar in the rat's habitat, Schroeder said.A naked man talking about Sasquatch used a rock to attack a hunter in rural Washington County on Thursday morning, deputies said.
