Department of Psychology, University of Leeds, UK:Overconsumption as a cause of weight gain The body exerts a strong defence against undernutrition and weight loss, but applies a much weaker resistance to overconsumption and weight gain. These principles influence how appetite control operates and this constitutes one form of vulnerability to weight gain. Taste and textural qualities of food give rise to hedonic responses. Particular sensory and nutrient combinations in foods can facilitate passive overconsumption . Overriding physiological satiety signals can lead to a positive energy balance and weight gain.

Program in Human Nutrition, School of
Public Health, University of Michigan:Why do we like fat?
Dietary choices are strongly influenced by the taste and texture of
foods. Fats are responsible for the sensory properties of many foods
and greatly contribute to eating pleasure and
preference for high-fat foods appear to be a universal human trait,
and in the
absence of efficient physiologic mechanisms regulating fat intake, fat consumption appears to be determined simply
by the amount of fat available in the food supply.

Suppl):S58-62, 1997 Jul.
Department of Psychology, Brooklyn College,
City University of New York, Brooklyn:The importance of taste
and palatability in carbohydrate-induced overeating These results
demonstrate that palatability has a major effect
on the overeating and obesity produced by carbohydrate
solutions. In the absence of a highly preferred taste (feeding via
intragastric catheters), carbohydrates produce no excess weight gain.

Department of Psychiatry, Cornell University
Medical College, White Plains, New York:The controls of fat
intake. The sensory properties of fats are sufficient to ititiate
feeding and are not dependent on the metabolic consequences of fat
digestion. We have found that fats produce
significantly more sensory positive feedback in obese than in lean in
experimental tests of preference.
