Foods With Both Fat And Carbs Trigger Instincts In Brain That May Promote Overeating,

reports researchers found that “the brain values foods...with both fats and carbohydrates, more than foods high in only fats” or “only carbs.” The article reports that “the findings of the study suggest that the brain may have distinct pathways that guide information about the fat-and-carb combination foods.” NBC News (6/14, Fox) reports, “Foods that combine fat and processed carbohydrates stimulate the brain even when people claimed they did not particularly like that food more than others.” Researchers suggest that the investigation, “using real-time brain scans, may help explain why so many of us are obese, and why we overeat even when we are not hungry.” The findings were published in Cell Metabolism. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/foods-carbs-fats-make-brain-light-study-finds/story?id=55861080
