The human brain is not able to detect calories in liquid form, unlike the case with the calories in solid form.A new study may explain scientifically about this assumption. The results showed that the human brain is not able to detect calories in liquid form, unlike the case with the calories in solid form. This makes our body's tendency to consume excessively.
Simone French, associate director of the Obesity Prevention Center University of Minnesota United States, said it is true that a calorie is a calorie. However, calories from soda and other sugary drinks can be very easy to consume excessive compared to the calories from solid foods.
"Our bodies are not really sensitive detector calories in liquid form," added French.
The human body does need calories, but it can be fulfilled from the foods we eat, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and fat. Even if there is a "rest place" for the extra calories, the American Heart Association says only 100 calories per day for women and 150 calories per day for men.
French says that soft drinks are the source of "empty" calories. Thus, people who drink it lose the opportunity to eat more nutritious foods.
"As many as 100 calories of soft drinks replacing healthier something you can eat to have a healthy diet., And, if the calories you consume more than you need, then it can lead to weight gain," said French.
