TechnoparkToday.com – Your kids are addictive to Oreo Cookies? and now think twice before buying it anymore. In a recent, researchers at Connecticut College have found that rats’ behavior toward Oreo cookies is not unlike their behavior toward cocaine and morphine.
“Our research supports the theory that high-fat/high-sugar foods stimulate the brain in the same way that drugs do,” Schroeder said. “It may explain why some people can’t resist these foods despite the fact that they know they are bad for them.
Schroeder and his team found that lab rats formed an “equally strong association” between the pleasure of eating an Oreo cookie and being in the same environment as cocaine or morphine. Research showed eating Oreos activated more neurons in the brain’s “pleasure center” than being exposed to drugs.
So, next time you buy oreo to your loved ones, you are buying them an addiction similar to drugs like cocaine or morphine. Sure Oreos are still delicious but do you think they’re addictive?

Very important news you have said & we must spread to all our dears & nears…. Thanks a lot..
I really surprised when my kid asking me for oreo in every now and then. thanks for the information. i stopped buying it. also i want to check with another product called kinder joy.
why one should buy such products to kids? please give the food which is preparing in your homes. DO NOT give any such products to your kids.
Oreo is availble in several countries and has been selling in europe and USA since years. It has been selling in countries with much more stringent and advanced food safety control practices than in our country. 100s of such unsubstantiated research reports come out all the time even linking brain tumor to cell phone usage. Over indulgence in any packed food can be a bad habbity. But dont overreact based on this so called “reasearch”. Before deciding on going against a product. Try to find out what really was the research about and what was the methodology. Media always publish half baked news to stirr popularity.
I think this is why the kids showing die hard interest in to some of such products. parents, please beware of such products, if your kids showing very much interest. give them the food you prepare at home. never buy any such products.
But this thing we can avoid, right?
There can be an endless list of consumables which you feel like avoiding if you rely on unsubstantiated “research findings” published by media every now and then.
Recently i had Oreo biscuit and i felt to have it once more. It is 100% addictive. 🙂
