Took a product with salt, sugar, and smooth fat and started to eat it...

..that product is called, "Wheat Thins" ..a cracker... .couldn't stop eating them

then I took a product with cane sugar, wheat, some flavoring, no salt..no smooth fat. more sugar thant he Wheat Thins.
but no salt. A cereal with small bits of shreaded wheat and cinnamon...no reaction. could eat a few..and put them down..

It was probably the salt and sugar combo that was addictive in Wheat Thins..and I am not the only one that has those
reactions...many of us cannot stop eating some foods..the food makers look for that reaction in their test subjects..before
they sell the stuff..(anyway, that is my belief and the author of this book)
