Sugary treats that make you eat
A SYRUP found in biscuits, energy drinks and ice cream can make people want to eat more, research has found.
Ice cream contains the sugar-filled fructose syrup
Scientists have discovered that sugar-filled fructose syrup produces less of the "feeling full" hormone to stop people from realising when they have eaten enough.
Experts fear that it is directly fuelling the development of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver disease
The research suggests that fructose heightens the response of brain's "reward circuits" to food cues, making people eat more.
Experts fear that it is directly fuelling the development of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and liver disease.
Now research, presented at the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology annual meeting in Phoenix, in the US, found that the brain responds differently to the fructose and the glucose.
