Eating chocolate doesn't hijack your prefrontal cortex, leading to more chocolate consumption. Alcoholism is a slippery slope.
- NoPicklez 1y agoI'm not arguing one over the other, I'm saying that I'd like to see that based on the research, the risk elements quantified and visualised. Alcoholism is a slippery slope just like eating fast food everyday, however its impacts are likely quantified differently and have different mortalities. And yes, there is evidence to show that your pre-frontal cortex surrounding impulse control can be weakened by high sugar and high fat diets. Eating indulgent sugary foods absolutely contributes to you wanting more of them.
- rmwaite 1y agoI dunno, usually when I eat chocolate it makes me want to eat more chocolate. What is the mechanism for this?
