Literally anything can be addictive.
Imagine being a scientist and not being intelligent enough to come up with a new theory to prove.
Edit It's easy to understand the confusion of the person below me. They don't realize that headlines shouldn't just be clickbait that misleads readers. That's poor science and poor journalism.
Your confusion is easy to understand, given the overly simplistic nature of much science reporting. And how that's especially true with headlines. (I assume you didn't read the article)
But this is claiming that modern food has been perfected, so as to actually trigger chemical dependency. Which is a whole different level from behavioral addiction.
