I've never heard anything like this. Are you suggesting there's evidence that sugar and fat have some kind of synergistic effect when eaten together?

- lvturner 7y agoYes. Although the only study I can find right now links a high sugar and high fat diet to depression rather than weight gain: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28724468 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28724468

Fats are energy-rich, so combining sugars with fats means you're tripping the weight gain mechanisms with extra chemical energy present. It's also why honey glazed bacon tastes amazing.

- justanotherjoe 7y agoThat's a documentary. Can you provide actual source?
- zubspace 7y agoThere are some studies which show that fat and sugar combined lead to more consumption [1]. The food industry calls this the "Bliss point" [2] and that's why many processed foods combine have a high amounts of fat and carbs.
