Proof junk food is like a drug: Researchers found sugary and fatty foods distract people twice as much as healthy snacks

Did you know that there is proof that junk food such as sugary sweets and fatty foods can ACTUALLY distract people? Distract in a way like a drug can distract. There was a study done that showed quick flashes of photos on the computer screen that showed healthy foods, junk foods, and non-food items, and found that people were twice as distracted with the junk than the other items. This is because it is said that junk food appears more attractive and is known as “better tasting” than the healthy food.

Key Takeaways:

• Think about your food choice before getting hard to work on that next project.
• In a study given, pictures of both general foods and junk foods were shown and junk food was more distracting.
• For some reason junk food seems to be more appealing.
