How can you get so full from dinner but somehow have room for dessert?
In: Biology
An age old question ever since we started making corn syrup and sugar became extremely plentiful. There have been multiple studies on this issue as a way of solving poor dieting in modern day humans.
Scientists have discovered that when eating non-sugary foods, your stomach will indicate it is full to ensure your stomach has time to digest it and don’t get sick. However, when you consume dessert, nearly all of them have sugar and the stomach literally expands to accommodate the extra calories. Sugars are very easy to digest so your stomach gladly welcomes them.
As you may have read in the past, sugars were extremely rare so humans almost never had it in their diet except for fruits or honey. So early humans ate as much of it as they could when they did find it.
