I really found this study interesting, not just because of the milkshakes…
Chocolate milkshakes are helping scientists get a better understanding of how the brain influences obesity.
Using milkshakes and brain scans, researchers find women who get less enjoyment from eating may eat more to compensate, which then puts them at higher risk for weight gain and obesity. The study also shows if you have a particular genetic trait, there’s an even stronger relationship between low sense of reward and overeating.
The study is the journal Science.
