Why burgers and ice cream control us



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

So long tartiflette and your gooey, cheesy, bacony goodness. Now I know why I really need to stay away from the fatty foods. So are potatoes cooked in duck fat still OK?

A U.S. study by UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas has found that fat from certain foods such ice cream and burgers heads to the brain.

Once there, the fat molecules trigger the brain to send messages to the body's cells, warning them to ignore the appetite-suppressing signals from leptin and insulin, hormones involved in weight regulation — for up to three days.
