Yale Food Addiction Scale

University of Michigan researchers have investigated the way in which some foods can produce addictive-like behavior. Using the Yale Food Addiction Scale, they ranked foods from “most problematic” to “least problematic” in terms of producing addictive-like behavior. They plotted these foods on a scale of 1 (least) to 7 (most). Next week I’ll share with you information about some of the foods on their list.
