HONG KONG, China — What's your food addiction? Let's be honest. Everyone has a snack or a food that keeps them reaching for more. For me, it is Doritos. Not just any Doritos...but Cool Ranch-flavored Doritos. For some reason, I can't seem to stop at one. My hand is reaching into the bag as my brain is saying, "Stop." We explored the issue of "food bliss" with a guest on Friday morning on CNN Today. Dr. David Kessler is the former commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration in the United States. Dr. Kessler became curious about food bliss when, one day, he couldn't stop thinking about that chocolate chip cookie sitting on his kitchen counter. So he spent time researching the topic and has some interesting findings. He answered our questions about the link between combinations of ingredients and their effects on our brain. I put out a Tweet and asked viewers what their food weaknesses are. The answers are coming in from many different countries. Owais from Pakistan says "Cheese Pizza." From Seoul, South Korea kayakapuccai tweets," I like almond and potato chips. sometimes once i start eating them it's hard to stop and eat too much in the end. wanna know why." From San Francisco in the U.S., foodielive says, "ice cream, diet coke." You can tweet me with your food obsession at paulineCNN. Posted by: CNN Anchor, Pauline Chiou |
