Potato chip-lovers and pretzel addicts may soon understand drug addiction a little better. Scientists at Duke University Medical Center and in Melbourne, Australia have found a link between salt and drug addiction: both use the same parts of the brain to signal an appetite for and satisfaction of each need.n essence, the brain balances actual bodily needs and drug addictions in the same area.
