(The Center Square) - Food brands owned by tobacco companies produce foods that are more hyperpalatable than those produced by non-tobacco companies, new research from the University of Kansas shows.

LAWRENCE (KSNT) - A group of academics from the University of Kansas have released their findings in a study focused on identifying why certain foods are so hard to resist.

An investigator at the University of Kansas has conducted research showing food brands owned by tobacco companies — which invested heavily into the U.S. food industry in the 1980s — appear to have “selectively disseminated hyperpalatable foods” to American consumers.
