At the University of California at Irvine (USA) research team led by Daniel Piomelli discovered that fatty foods triggers our body "suffering" of fats even more.

On the one hand it is known that fatty foods it allows us to most quickly feel full. In addition, fats are important building blocks of our cells.

At the same time, experiments on rats have shown that under the influence of fatty foods in the body begin to intensively produced endocannabinoids - marihuanopodobnye chemicals. These substances stimulate the cells, so that they signaled the famine. The process begins when the language of the fall lipids, after which the signal enters the brain, and from there via the vagus nerve - the intestine, which already begins to produce endocannabinoids.

From an evolutionary point of view, such a process is justified by the fact that the nature of fatty foods is not too much, given that it is vital. Endokarbonoidy are pushing animals to constantly look for sources of fat. Mankind also produces fatty foods in excess, and the excess of consumption that results in the occurrence of obesity, diabetes, cancer.

The researchers believe that their discovery will learn to regulate cravings for fatty foods and helps with the time to deal with the above diseases.
