Are you a food addict?

Why some foods can cause a drug-like addiction

Two new studies explore how some of us may be "addicted" to our favorite foods. Among the most addictive items, unsurprisingly, are chocolate, cookies and chips. The research also suggests certain types of food may get people hooked the same way as heroin and cocaine.

Take this abbreviated version of the Yale Food Addiction Scale survey, provided to CBS News by one of its creators, Ashley Gearhardt, Ph.D., assistant professor of psychology at University of Michigan, to see if you are showing symptoms of food addiction.
