Combinação de açúcares e gordura (chocolates, hambúrgueres, pizzas, batatas fritas, gelados, etc) tem um efeito no cérebro semelhante ao da cocaína! Daí o sucesso das cadeias de fast food a que eu chamaria agora de addicted food (sugar + fat) a combination of fat and sugar (such as in milk chocolate or ice cream) has a similar effect on your brain to cocaine. (...) What we relish is fat/sugar combinations - chocolate, ice cream, French fries. To see the effect of these combinations on the brain - and why they might be addictive like cocaine - after the diet part of our experiment finished, I had an eye scan done by Jennifer Nasser, a nutrition professor at Drexel University in the U.S. This scan effectively detects dopamine, a neurotransmitter that activates the reward centres of the brain. I was scanned while I ate fatty, sugary foods: sure enough a huge surge of dopamine. So, what were our conclusions? If you want to lose weight it will be much easier if you avoid processed foods made with sugar and fat. These foods affect your brain in a completely different way from natural foods and its hard for anyone to resist eating too much.
