Eating Carbohydrate May Cause Over-Eating September 2, 2008
A new study suggests that our modern diet, high in carbohydrate and sugar, may be causing us to over eat as we get older. This sounds a bit cyclic - eating makes you over-eat - but the scientists at Monash University believe that eating too much carbohydrate and sugar between the ages of 25 and 50 causes key sensors in our body to be destroyed. These are the sensors that tell us whether we are hungry or full, and so stop us over-eating.
Combined with some people’s belief that eating too much ages you quickly, this is a double whammy of danger when the goal is a long life.
