Your confusion is easy to understand, given the overly simplistic nature of much science reporting. And how that's especially true with headlines. (I assume you didn't read the article)

But this is claiming that modern food has been perfected, so as to actually trigger chemical dependency. Which is a whole different level from behavioral addiction.
