Chocolate addiction?

Anyone watching bbc1? They did an experiment on a woman who thought she had an addiction to chocolate. She had a brain scan whilst looking at pictures of chocolate and when eating chocolate. The results turned out to be the same. The same brain activity showed up when looking at chocolate and eating the stuff! I thought that was really interesting!

It tells us that the brain is stimulated by thinking about chocolate, so next time we want some, we just need to think about it or look at it to get the same sensations.
 
i didnt see it but i find being on exante i tend to get the same satisfaction by smelling the food, for example cadburys mini eggs, they have a strong sweet smell, its very random and abit odd but it stops me going off the rails by smelling the food ha ha
