Researchers at Nottingham University are exploring the ways our brains respond when we eat fatty foods. The goal, in
part, is to learn why certain foods are pleasing and then hopefully design more healthful foods that still provide the
pleasure and satisfaction of fatty ones. Along with fat content, taste, texture and smell are all factors in how and
why someone enjoys a food, so researchers are giving test subjects milkshakes with varying fat contents and examining
their responses via MRIs. Researchers will also examine how the brain responds to fatty foods when they are eaten
versus when they are delivered directly to the stomach through a tube.Fatty food on the brain
