Eat the Kit Kat



Do these pictures look the same to you? They do to me, too, but the study says there's a radical difference. I'll leave it to the scientists to interpret.

So, "In binge eaters but not ordinary obese subjects, the mere sight or smell of favorite foods triggers a spike in dopamine." That's right, kids, it's back to dopamine! That means when I see those Cadbury Eggs in the freezer my dopamine levels go sky high. I wonder what the normal reaction is when you're just plain hungry. Probably dopamine, too. But those of us who happen to eat too much at one time have a bigger spike in dopamine.
