Reply to comment by WrongSubFools in TIL love is as strong as illegal drugs. When you fall in love the same part of your brain is stimulated as when you take mind-altering substances like cocaine. by Canes-Venaticii

Both (cocaine and love) probably activate the pleasure centre of the brain, which can be said for many things (for example eating chocolate, playing slot machines etc). This is sensationalism for absolutely no reason other than the clicks. The key takeaway is that both of these activities are pleasurable.

I hate knowing these things. It makes me really understand how media works very clearly.
