Show Notes
Today on The People's Scientist podcast I dive into the scientific evidence on the neurobiology of taste and how taste sends signals to our brain to guide our actions to consume or avoid certain foods and drinks to ensure our survival. In particular, I focus on how sweet taste is reinforcing and activates our reward/pleasure brain regions. In contrast, high concentrations of bitter tastants can recruit the satiety and aversion brain centers. We use this neuroscience to help gain control of our eating behaviors and risk of diabetes. Tune in for all the details.
