"New study confirms Oreos are basically the cookie form of cocaine" is misleading (and not the original title "Oreos May Be As Addictive As Cocaine")

Anyway, the comparisons performed in the quoted study: preference over plain rice and amount of time spent in Oreo region (vs Morphine/Cocaine etc) seems a shaky correlation at best. Does addictiveness necessarily require withdrawal symptoms? If yes, the study seems to lack it any mention of it [1].
