Story at-a-glance

- Environmental cues like food marketing, smells and packaging train your brain to eat regardless of actual hunger, overriding natural satiety signals
- Ultraprocessed foods trigger dopamine pathways similar to addictive drugs, creating cravings even when you no longer enjoy the food
- Reclaiming healthy eating patterns requires removing ultraprocessed foods, eating whole foods mindfully and incorporating daily movement to regulate appetite
