Who doesn't love Oreo Cookies?!  Two chocolate cookies with a creamy middle...it's hard to resist eating just one!  

Why are Oreo cookies so addictive?  Why can't we stop after eating just one?

Research has shown that the brain responds to eating an Oreo cookie in a similar way as it responds to illegal drugs. The nucleus accumbens, known as the "pleasure center" in the brain, gets just as activated in response to an Oreo cookie as it does to cocaine and morphine. Watch this video to understand exactly what happens in the brain when you eat that delicious Oreo cookie.
