We now have an answer to a question that has been plaguing us for years. What makes ice cream so addictive? According to a recent study, ice cream's addictive properties are just like being addicted to something else. The more we eat ice cream, the more of it we need to satisfy the craving.
A food chemist says ice cream's addictive nature has ties to its F-Factor or flavor. The principles in F-Factor includes the appearance, aroma, acidity, taste, texture and temperature. Also, another study says ice cream's sweetness contributes to why we are addicted to it. The ice cream shouldn't be "cloyingly sweet - so you can eat more of it."
