Although I know how to eat fat, why are we so fascinated with fried potatoes?

Research has shown that we humans love extremely starchy and greasy foods!

There must be many of us who will not be able to "hold our hearts" in front of many sugary snacks with oil, such as donuts, chips, fried dough .

And even though they know that eating a lot will not be healthy. But every time they see them, they will be ready to buy to enjoy.

Why is that?

The wonderful combination of starch and fat in the dish creates an intense attraction to the brain.

According to the latest conclusion of research at Yale University, our brain has a special stimulus for mixed foods - it is high in starch and fat.

"The wonderful combination of starch and fat in the dish creates an intense attraction to the human brain , " said Professor Robert Boakes.

This study shows that our brains have two systems responsible for making decisions - that is, the striatum, along with the prefrontal cortex (prefrontal cortex) and visual feedback (visual cortex).

Each system will be responsible for deciding what to choose, especially for high sugar or high fat items.

However, with dishes that include both fat and starch, these systems will be mishandled, leading us to tend to eat them more.

To demonstrate this, 206 volunteers were surveyed on the EEG to see how they responded when they looked at the image of a high-sugar, starchy food.

As a result, whenever images of starchy and greasy foods appear, brainwave waves are significantly stimulated.

This shows that even if they like them or not, the brain sends a signal as if to announce: "I really want to eat it."

"Research results show that, when nutrient groups are combined, our brains will tend to overestimate their true value" - Professor Dana Small - the person in charge study said.

Professor added: "What we want to say here is the difference between a favorite and a desire for something - and it has a connection to the passionate behavior determined by the striatum."

"For example, smoking, many smokers, even if they don't like them. This is similar to the fact that we love both fat and sugar."

So, do not blame yourself if there is too much "fat" to eat.

Instead, you can combine with eating them moderately, and move regularly to keep your body healthy.
