Carbs

By Jonny Bowden

Ever wonder why you're hungry for more after you eat a high-carb snack or meal?

New research from Monash University has identified appetite control cells in the human brain. The cells are attacked by free radicals after you eat, but the attack is bigger and stronger following a meal rich in sugar and carbohydrates.

"The more carbs and sugars you eat, the more your appetite-control cells are damaged," said Zane Andrews, MD, the lead researcher on the study. The result? You eat more.

According to Andrews, people aged 25 to 50 are most at risk. "The neurons that tell people in that crucial age range not to over-eat are being killed off."

Yet another reason to limit your sugar and processed carbs if you don't want to be the victim of constant cravings.
