Malnutritive obesity ('malnubesity'): is it driven by human brain evolution?

Metabolic syndrome and related disorders - 1 Dec 2008

McGill Anne-Thea

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Health messages on low-energy diets for healthy weight loss are muddled and not working, and obesity rates are rising. Are there missing links? Accumulating evidence shows that humans have well developed 'self-addictive' appetite pathways to enhance the uptake of highly energy-dense food. Humans synthesize fewer co-factors and vitamins than other mammals and must ingest them. Both processes probably...
