Hello. My name is Charles Stuart Platkin, I’m the founder of DietDetective.com, I  have a syndicated column that’s in more than 165 daily papers, I’ve also written 5 books on health and behavior. As far as academic background: I received my undergraduate degree from Cornell University, a Juris Doctorate from Fordham University, and a Masters in Public Health from Florida International University. I’m also a certified personal trainer and I’m currently completing my Ph.D. in Public Health. Ok. A few points, just so we’re clear. This blog will NOT be investigative stories, or well written, heavily edited articles. It will be from my mind, to keyboard, to computer. There WILL be typos, grammatical errors, and run on sentences. But that’s fine, because you’ll get the point.

A gut hormone that causes people to eat more does so by making food appear more desirable, suggests a new report in the May issue of Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press. In a brain imaging study of individuals, the researchers found that reward centers respond more strongly to pictures of food in subjects who had received an infusion of the hormone known as ghrelin.
The findings suggest that the two drives for feeding—metabolic signals and pleasure signals—are actually intertwined. |
