published Wednesday in the journal Cell Metabolism suggests that eating fatty or sugary snacks alters our brain activity and creates lasting preferences for these less healthy items.
At the end, the groups rated puddings with varying fat concentrations and apple juices with a range of sugar levels. The group that ate the high-fat, high-sugar yogurt said they did not like low-fat pudding and did not want low-sugar apple juice as much as they had at the start. The researchers concluded that fatty, sugary snacks activate the brain’s dopamine system, which gives people a feeling of motivation or reward.

Now do fast foods - someone I care about is addicted to them and it’s hard to watch 😟
Wear a Mask in between bites please it's real Science.Just ask the Pickle Smoker Fauci
Wonder how much this study was paid to determine the obvious….that high fat/high sugar options just taste better and are , therefore , preferred? Just add in the proposed (unverified) physiological mechanisms with technical jargon to make it sound like “science”.
You're promoting the most unhealthy thing for the human body. Sugar causes more cancer than anything.
Hyper-palatable food is addictive and there is a catastrophic addiction epidemic happening.
This is the America Joe Biden wants
