"Boost Your Brain with Sweet Treats and Nutritional Supplements"

TL;DR Summary
Regular consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods rewires the brain to subconsciously prefer these unhealthy options due to changes in the brain’s dopaminergic system responsible for motivation and reward. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Cologne and Yale University found that the brain unconsciously learns to prefer rewarding food, particularly high-fat and high-sugar foods, through changes in the brain. The preference for sugary foods is likely to continue even after the end of the study.
