Fructose Brain And Hunger
It was discovered with that after drinking fructose-laden drinks, parts of the brain associated with desire for food, motivation and reward processing were switched off or suppressed. In other words, the brain did not register the feelings of fullness or satisfied. That could lead one to overeat and obesity, as a result.
As fructose is sweeter and cheaper than glucose, food manufacturers are using more high-fructose corn syrup in the foods we eat. Fructose can be found in fruits, sugar and even water.
For those of you who want to prevent one from overeating which could lead to weight problem, it is best reduce the intake of sugar, or if possible stay clear of sugar-sweetened sodas and drinks.
My personal view is eat with moderation and avoid eating unhealthy foods.
