			<title>Why tipping keeps rising and may not improve service</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260302030637.htm</link>
			<description>Why do we tip—even when we know we’ll never see the server again? New research suggests it’s not just about rewarding good service, but about social pressure. Some people tip out of genuine appreciation, while others simply follow the norm. But here’s the twist: those who truly value great service tend to tip more than average, and everyone else adjusts upward to match them.</description>

			<title>The type of carbs you eat may affect dementia risk</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/01/260127010156.htm</link>
			<description>Carbohydrates don’t just fuel the body—they may also influence how the brain ages. A large long-term study found that diets high in fast-acting carbs that rapidly raise blood sugar were linked to a higher risk of dementia. People who ate more low-glycemic foods like fruit, legumes, and whole grains had a noticeably lower risk of Alzheimer’s. The quality of carbs, not just the amount, appears to matter for brain health.</description>

			<title>Brain scans may finally end the guesswork in depression treatment</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251228074500.htm</link>
			<description>Researchers compared a traditional Chinese medicine, Yueju Pill, with a standard antidepressant and found both reduced depression symptoms. However, only Yueju Pill increased a brain-supporting protein associated with mood improvement. Brain imaging showed that unique network patterns—especially in visual regions—could predict who benefited most from Yueju Pill. This opens the door to more personalized depression treatments guided by brain scans.</description>

			<title>Why ultra-processed foods make teens eat more when they aren’t hungry</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251209043055.htm</link>
			<description>A Virginia Tech study shows that ultra-processed foods may influence adolescents differently from slightly older young adults. Participants aged 18 to 21 ate more at a buffet and snacked even when not hungry after two weeks on an ultra-processed diet. Because eating without hunger predicts future weight gain, these findings hint at a heightened vulnerability during late adolescence.</description>

			<title>A common nutrient deficiency may be silently harming young brains</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/11/251127010319.htm</link>
			<description>Scientists studying young adults with obesity discovered early indicators of brain stress that resemble patterns seen in cognitive impairment. The group showed higher inflammation, signs of liver strain and elevated neurofilament light chain, a marker of neuron injury. Low choline levels appeared closely tied to these changes. The results hint that early metabolic disruptions may quietly influence the brain long before symptoms emerge.</description>

			<title>Why ultra-processed foods aren’t the real villain behind overeating</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/10/251005085625.htm</link>
			<description>Researchers from Leeds found that overeating is driven more by what people believe about food than by its actual ingredients or level of processing. Foods perceived as fatty, sweet, or highly processed were more likely to trigger indulgence. Surprisingly, the “ultra-processed” label explained almost none of the difference in overeating behavior. The findings suggest that perception and psychology may be more important than packaging or processing.</description>

			<title>Why Gen X women can’t stop eating ultra-processed foods</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/09/250929054915.htm</link>
			<description>Researchers found that middle-aged adults, especially women, are far more likely to be addicted to ultra-processed foods than older generations. Marketing of diet-focused processed foods in the 1980s may have played a major role. Food addiction was linked to poor health, weight issues, and social isolation, highlighting long-term risks. Experts warn that children today could face even higher addiction rates in the future.</description>

			<title>Cutting sugar won’t curb your sweet tooth, scientists say</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/08/250811104231.htm</link>
			<description>A six-month randomized trial challenges the idea that eating more sweet foods increases a person’s preference for sweetness. Participants on diets with high, low, or mixed sweetness levels showed no changes in their sweet taste preferences, energy intake, body weight, or health markers. The study’s rigorous design suggests sweetness alone isn’t to blame for overeating, and even after the intervention, participants naturally returned to their baseline sweet intake.</description>

			<title>Scientists found the brain glitch that makes you think you’re still hungry</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/06/250611084115.htm</link>
			<description>A team of scientists has identified specialized neurons in the brain that store &quot;meal memories&quot; detailed recollections of when and what we eat. These engrams, found in the ventral hippocampus, help regulate eating behavior by communicating with hunger-related areas of the brain. When these memory traces are impaired due to distraction, brain injury, or memory disorders individuals are more likely to overeat because they can&#039;t recall recent meals. The research not only uncovers a critical neural mechanism but also suggests new strategies for treating obesity by enhancing memory around food consumption.</description>

			<title>Scientists discover why obesity takes away the pleasure of eating</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/03/250326122652.htm</link>
			<description>Why do some people lose the joy of eating, even when surrounded by irresistible foods? UC Berkeley researchers have uncovered a surprising brain mechanism that explains this paradox. They found that a high-fat diet lowers levels of a peptide called neurotensin, which normally boosts dopamine’s pleasure response. Without it, food loses its appeal — driving people to eat out of habit rather than enjoyment, which can fuel obesity.</description>

			<title>Biological clock plays critical role in driving teens&#039; late-day eating habits</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/02/250217160328.htm</link>
			<description>The causes of obesity are complex and influenced by many factors. While research has highlighted connections between sleep, eating patterns and weight gain, scientists remain uncertain of the role of the circadian system -- the biological clock -- in shaping eating patterns. But a new study reveals a distinct relationship between circadian rhythms, weight and eating habits in adolescents, a vulnerable age group whose eating patterns influence their lifelong health. The study found that adolescents whose weight was classified as &#039;overweight&#039; or &#039;obese&#039; consumed more calories later in the day compared to participants with healthy weights.</description>

			<title>Eating more ultra-processed foods tied to cognitive decline, stroke, according to study</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240522225300.htm</link>
			<description>People who eat more ultra-processed foods like soft drinks, chips and cookies may have a higher risk of having memory and thinking problems and having a stroke than those who eat fewer processed foods, according to a new study. The study does not prove that eating ultra-processed foods causes memory and thinking problems and stroke. It only shows an association.</description>

			<title>Significant gaps between science of obesity and the care patients receive</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/05/240520122713.htm</link>
			<description>More than 40% of adults in the United States live with obesity, and the percentage of people living with obesity continues to increase dramatically. While experts have learned a great deal about the causes of obesity and effective treatments for it, that information isn&#039;t always implemented in clinical settings, which may be hindering progress in reducing the rates of cardiovascular disease.</description>

			<title>Blended antioxidant supplement improves cognition and memory in aged mice</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/04/240402140321.htm</link>
			<description>Cell damage from oxidative stress is a major underlying cause of age-related cognitive and muscle strength decline. Antioxidants can reduce oxidative stress and prevent age-related health decline. A new study has found that mice administered with a blended antioxidant supplement show significant improvements in spatial cognition, short-term memory, and mitigated age-related muscle decline. The study suggests that blended antioxidant supplements hold promise as a dietary intervention for health issues associated with aging.</description>

			<title>How the brain translates motivation into goal-oriented behavior, according to new study</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240315160859.htm</link>
			<description>Hunger can drive a motivational state that leads an animal to a successful pursuit of a goal -- foraging for and finding food. In a highly novel study, researchers describe how two major neuronal subpopulations in a part of the brain&#039;s thalamus called the paraventricular nucleus participate in the dynamic regulation of goal pursuits. This research provides insight into the mechanisms by which the brain tracks motivational states to shape instrumental actions.</description>

			<title>Avid appetite in childhood linked to later eating disorder symptoms</title>
			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/02/240220203244.htm</link>
			<description>The study looked at survey data from 3,670 young people in the UK and the Netherlands to investigate how appetite traits in early childhood might relate to the likelihood of developing eating disorder symptoms up to 10 years later. The researchers found that a particularly high food responsiveness, defined as the urge to eat when you see, smell or taste palatable food, at the ages of four and five was linked to a higher likelihood of reporting a range of eating disorder symptoms at ages 12 to 14.</description>
