A recent study just released says we're all addicted to love - at least at first! It seems that falling in love (which only takes a fifth of a second by the way) is similar to the high one receives from doing cocaine.

But couldn't they have come up with a more positive comparison - like giving birth to a child or your favorite baseball team winning the world series?
