The World's Most Addictive Food (Apparently)

The researchers at the University of Michigan have done an investigation into the world's most addictive food.

According to researchers, pizza is the most addictive food! 

 They described described addictiveness as "loss of control over consumption, continued use despite negative consequences, and an inability to cut down despite the desire to do so" and they tested 504 people. 

First of all they got 120 students to complete the Yale Food Addiction Scale to see how 'substance dependent' they were. 

They were shown photos of 35 common foods (in pairs) and then asked which were most likely to 'produce addiction-like eating behaviors'.

Chocolate was the firm favourite, followed by ice cream and then fries. 

Unhappy with the results, they asked a further 384 people to rank the addictiveness of each food using a scale of one to seven.

And the result was pizza!
