The claim is:
1. dissolved CO2 is in drink. Is drunk.
2. When liquid containing CO2 is in stomach, H2CO3 drops out of solution to CO2 and H2O.
3. The pressure on the stomach cells with CO2 cause them to release Ghrelin
4. When Ghrelin reaches brain, causes hunger sensation
5. Person eats reacting to hunger sensation
- cloverich 9y agoIf that's the case, I feel like saying it induce's hunger / impede's satiation would be a more accurate title.
- cryptonector 9y agoHunger? That's it? OK. Thanks. For me, CW mostly causes me to... drink more CW. Whereas if ghrelin were to do more than cause hunger, that would be rather interesting then. Oh: "Besides regulating appetite, ghrelin also plays a significant role in regulating the distribution and rate of use of energy.[6]" -wikipedia
- refurb 9y agoWhy would pressure on your stomach increase your appetite? Shouldn't it be the opposite?
- kefka 9y agoI found an IPFS link to the paper. I'm no biochemist, that's for sure. But to answer your question, it seems that gheberlin is released when pressure is applied. When that hormone hits the brain, the brain interprets it to be "Hunger".
- hexane360 9y agoIt seems ghrelin production stops when the stomach is stretched. That might be significantly different from the effects of gas pressure.
