    The Max Planck Institute for Metabolic Research has shown that foods high in fat and sugar change our brain: If we regularly eat even small amounts of them, the brain learns to want to continue consuming precisely these foods. The background: the dopaminergic system, which is responsible for motivation and reward, is activated. The brain subconsciously learns to prefer rewarding food.
