High-fat, High-sugar Foods alter brain receptors

Posted by Mark

Interesting research on high-fat, high sugar foods.


I liked this paragraph most.

"The new findings suggest that overconsumption of highly palatable foods maintains bingeing by enhancing opioids in the brain, and that increased opioids could be a factor involved in binge eating disorders. These findings may help to understand the biological basis of eating disorders."
