Obesity: The killer combination of salt, fat and sugar

Our favourite foods are making us fat, yet we can't resist, because eating them is changing our minds as well as bodies. For thousands of years, human body weight had stayed remarkably stable. With rare exceptions our weight neither rose nor fell. Then, in the 80s, something changed. Three decades ago, fewer than one Briton in 10 was obese. One in four is today. It is projected that by 2050, Britain could be a "mainly obese society". Similar changes were taking place in the US, where researchers found that not only were Americans entering their adult years at a significantly higher weight but, while on average everyone was getting heavier, the heaviest people were gaining disproportionately more weight than others.

Overeating is not the sole province of those who are overweight. Even people who remain slim often feel troubled by their need for food. Yet many, including doctors and healthcare professionals, still think that weight gainers merely lack willpower, or perhaps self-esteem. The fact that sugar, fat and salt make food compelling cannot, however, be ignored. They stimulate neurons, cells that release dopamine, a chemical that motivates our behaviour and makes us want to eat more. It is not just that fast food chains serve food with more fat, sugar and salt, or that intensive processing virtually eliminates our need to chew before swallowing, or that snacks are now available at any time. It is the combination of all that, and more.
