Study finds human brains are wired to crave sugar, similar to drug addiction, potentially aiding obesity research.
A recent study in Science reveals that the human brain is wired to crave sugar, triggered by the sweet taste activating opioid receptors, which create a feeling of reward.
This was observed in both mice and humans, suggesting an evolved preference for sugar.
Understanding this neural pathway could help explain obesity and lead to new weight loss medications that block opiate receptors and suppress appetite.
