I don’t have hard data, but sugar is very much a superstimulus for me. If I eat something sweet like ice cream, I’ll keep eating until it’s gone with no real chance of self control. I’ve previously devoured 52oz tubs of ice cream or an entire plate of cookies.
Sugar, salt, and fat reliably triggers this pattern, to the point where I avoid concentrations of such unless I’m okay with eating the entire thing at once.
If I eat lots of junk food for a long time, I’ll crave healthier stuff but empirically it takes a couple months.
