Our food, for example, simple carbs, foods that cause the dopamine surge, as Dr Robert Lustig talked about, in the hacking of the American mind, ultimately are keeping us from making connections to empathy and compassion and forward thinking, and causing us to be far more narcissistic and want to be, and wanting to be, involved in immediate gratification and impulsivity.
Ever wonder why you can't resist that bag of chips or tub of ice cream, even when you know it's not doing you any favors? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen sit down with Dr. David Perlmutter to uncover the hidden science behind food addiction. They dive into how the food industry has mastered the art of making foods almost irresistible by targeting specific areas of your brain.
From the effects of Glutamorphin and Caseomorphin to the role of dopamine and the prefrontal cortex, this conversation reveals how your brain gets hijacked by engineered foods.
