Why are people addicted to french fries ?

A study to explain why people find it difficult to stop snacked on potato chips or fries. Fatty foods like chips and french fries shown to trigger the body to produce chemicals that are similar to what is contained in marijuana. In the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers reported that these chemicals, called endocannabinoid, is part of a cycle that keeps you eating french fries were tasty and crunchy. "This is the first study that shows that the signal endocannabinold in the stomach plays an important role in regulating fat intake," said Danieie Piomelli, professor of pharmacology at the University of California, Irvine. In the study, Piomelli found that fat in the digestive tract triggers endocannabinoid release in the brain. But the brain is not the only organ that makes the natural chemicals similar to marijuana. Human skin also produces similar substances. Cannabinoid skin may play a role similar to humans, such as the benefits of the substance in the cannabis plant. Substances that provide protection from sun and wind. Endocannabinoid also known to affect appetite and taste. A study in PNAS in 2009 to explain why many people tend to snack when they smoked marijuana. In his studies, Piomelli and his team put the tube in rats to deplete the animal's stomach contents when eating or drinking. Gastric tube was used investigators to determine whether there is fat that works on the tongue. The analysis of stomach contents of mice showed the protein and sugar does not affect the release of chemical substances the body's natural marijuana. Only the consumption of fat that trigger endocannabinoid release. Fat on the tongue triggers a signal to the brain, which then emits a message to the stomach via the vagus nerve file. The message ordered the endocannabinoid production in the stomach, which then deploy another signal that sends a message: eat, eat, eat! *** [LIVESCIENCE|KORAN TEMPO 3582]
