Salt & Sugar & Junk FoodSalt essential nutrient for all neurons andcells
Blood 0.9% NaClSalt scarce in the evolutionary environmentSodium/K+ pump drives life
Sugar is major fuel of neuronsNOT essential but very useful..
Drives ingestion (hard wired pleasure)Increases insulin, growth promoterExcellent short term energy sourceSpares fat stores
Hence: Body strives to find these nutrients!

Salt & Sugar & PleasureDirect reward pathways from taste to pleasure centerSugar is mu opioid stimulator, dopamineSalt is mu opioid stimulator, dopaminePleasure magnified when mixed with fat(1)Heroin, morphine, alcohol, and cannabinoids, interactwith this system
Ventral striatal medium spiny neurons mediate theaffective or hedonic response to food ('liking' or food'pleasure )Taste more sensitive when hungry
(1) Emulsion pleasure theory

Junk Food Design IEssential Elements of Junk Food:
Salt, Fat & Sugar
NOT proteinDynamic Novelty
Driver of Ingestion
Macronutrients & PleasureFat and carbohydrate greatest drivers
Use of the Pleasure Equation
Pleasure=Sensation plus Calories

Taste & Smell=FlavorCentral taste and olfactory systems in primatesprovides evidence that the convergence of tasteand smell information onto single neurons isrealized in the caudal orbitofrontal cortexCortical areas thus support flavour processingCorrelations with consonance ratings for the smelland taste combinations, and for their
pleasantness, were found in a medial anterior partof the orbitofrontal cortexOFC searches for taste & smell with hedonicovertones ( taste appears never to be neutral )

Flavor and RewardBrain has two motivation systems:Positive/appetitive [reward]Negative/aversive [punishment]
Chemosensory Regions in Brain:Process sensory responses andProcess value of food rewardsimultaneous!

Hot PeppersMost widely and quickly dispersedfood plant on earth why?
Hot Peppers contain capsaicin Activates vanilloid receptorsIncreased sensation
Vanilloid receptor activation is
Sensed as burning body thenReleases opioids or endorphins
Capsaicin also depletes substances P
inhibit pain transmission!
-
7/28/2019 Why Humans Like Junk Food, Part Three

Hot Peppers 2Hence, depending on your level of paintolerance, you are basically burning yourself to release opioids without damaging tissue!Heat tolerance builds up and more must beconsumed over time
Almost infinite variety of hot pepper available!
Many flavors and tastes!Certain endogenous lipids may activate thisreceptor! Thus hot peppers may have moresignificance to food intake and pleasure than
at first thought.

Why We Like French FriesHigh in salt, fat and carbohydrates
Salt is directly rewarding (opioids)Fat is rewarding both gut & brain
Fat forms the best memories of foodFat least satiating
Carbohydrate is rewardingHigh glycemic food reduces hunger quicklySurge of glucose and then insulin rewardingMany glucose receptors activated,Carbohydrate increase serotonin which can be rewarding
Aroma is resistant to Sensory Specific ExtinctionHigh in Dynamic Contrast
Crispy outside creamy inside

Which Fries are Best?Is it possible to use Junk Food Theory todecide which fry is best?McDonald s Fries:
Not coatedBeef Flavored (actually tallow)
Burger King Fries
Slightly bigger than Mac
sBatter and flavor coatedNot salted in batterHighest fat content
Wanted hotter and crisper longer (good goal)

Which Fries Best-2Using our Junk Food Theories which fries arethe best?
FP=[Sensation] plus [Calories]
FP=Sensation: [Dynamic Contrast+HedonicSolutes+Aroma Associations+(-)SSS] plus[Calories: fat and sugar]Edge to McDonald s
Flavor good (tallow flavors good AA)Some textural variety (uniformity dec hedonics)Fries don t toughen up over timeI have a hard time believing BK won taste tests
Still like their fries though!

French Fries & ToxicityHigh in salt, fat sugarHigh in acrylamidesHigh in Saturated fatLow in phytochemicalsPotato soaks up additional carcinogensproduced during deep fryingHigh glycemic starch elevates bloodsugar
Just about the worst side dish one can imagine
Trans fat content: Burger King: 35 percent
Wendy's: 26 percent McDonald's: 22 percent

Why We Like Ice Cream Vanilla preferred flavor why?Resistant to Sensory Specific Satiety
Allows infinite additionsHigh in Salt, Fat and Sugar (Sucrose)HFCS even worse
VERY High in Dynamic Contrast
Ice Cream melts (phase change)Ice Cream is Cold changes in the mouth(pleasureable)Temperature changes, flavor changes as well

Ice Cream Liking As Dr. Bob Hyde says: People like Ice Creambecause it is cold. IC excites cold waterreceptors; but since the osmolality is so highone must drink cold water afterwards hencethe drinking fountain in ice cream stores
-
7/28/2019 Why Humans Like Junk Food, Part Three
22/75
Why We Like Ice Cream 2Rich in Salt , Fat and Sugar
Salt is rewarding
Sugar is rewardingFat is rewarding (activates singulate gyrus)Sucrose is an especially active sweetener
Most preferred taste (Pangborn)
Activates hyperphagia (increases food intake)Deactivates leptin (encourages obesity)Poorer satiation (encourages consumption)Fat plus sucrose especially attractive (ET Rolls)
-

Dietary Ingredients
Sugar intake at an all time high110 pounds per year
Increases insulin secretion (fat storage)Increases hunger and hyperphagia
Wrong Type of Fats
Too much saturated fat, trans fat, omega 6 s.Low Fiber Intake
Fiber is fillingFiber lowers cholesterol

HFCS and ObesityHFCS & Obesity Correlates Well (Bray)Obesity rose slowly until 1980 s132/200 extra calories come from sugarsFood Industry says its about calories and notHFCS.Fructose: [ Sweeter than Sugar ]
Lower satiety response [stimulates appetite]Increases TGIncreases insulin resistanceMore likely to be converted into fat
Sucrose increases lipogenesis in liver
-
7/28/2019 Why Humans Like Junk Food, Part Three
25/75
Sucrose & HFCS Dietary Fructose stimulates lipogenicenzymes in liver
Acetyl-CoA carboxylaseFructose>sucrose>cornstarch
Sucrose is the most preferred sugar in
humans and animals (Pangborn)J Nutr. 2001 Mar;131(3):796-9.10% Calories from HFCS!!!

Why We Like Soda Activates several reward circuitsThirst reward (fluid replacement)
Taste Reward (sweetness)Orosensation (two)
Carbonation Aroma (forms taste+aroma associations)COLD! (Dynamic Contrast)
Caffeine is addicting (mild)Hence, soda is very rewarding as it effect several systemsKnown to release opioids and taste pleasure. It is easy to get
Addicted to Soda my problem is Diet Vanilla Coke!
-
7/28/2019 Why Humans Like Junk Food, Part Three

Carbonated DrinksSugar Very Addicting (opioids)
Carbonation also addicting
Loaded with HFCSFructose causes insulin resistanceFructose not very filling
Reduces thermogenesisSubstitute for Milk
Calcium linked to fat loss
Sugar withdrawal resembles opioid dependence

Coca Cola C2???Added Knauss, "Today's consumers arelooking for choices that fit their lifestyles.They want to keep enjoying the specialcola taste that Coca-Cola delivers, butwith the option of a lower-carb, lower-calorie soft drink. Coca-Cola C2 gives thatfreedom of choice."
Professor Pangborn used to tell me: ThereIs something special about the taste of sucrose!
Half the sugar, carbs and calories
A number of folks don
t like diet coke!!!
-
7/28/2019 Why Humans Like Junk Food, Part Three
29/75
C2: Will it Succeed?Uses sucrose/and or HFCS
Adds a combo of sucralose, aceK and aspartame
Taste Tested by Good HousekeepingRegular first, then C2, then dietBUT taste testers noted a off flavor with thenew formula
Coke fails to note that supertasters can pick upthe bitterness in AceK & Aspartame. Sucralose isclean.Hence this new formula will bomb in my humbleopinion.

Caffeine acts as a antagonist of the A2Areceptor, by blocking its activation byadenosine. This reduces the formation of cyclic AMP and the activation of proteinkinase A. This causes the reduction of adenylyl cyclase, cyclic AMP, protein kinaseA, and DARPP-32. It is believed that thereduction of one of these molecules inducesa positive feedback mechanism, whichinduces the increase of DARPP-32 and thusan increase dopamine, glutamate, andserotonin past the normal level . This iswhat causes one to feel a little more
awake, at least, until the levels of DARPP-32 return to normal.Reference:
Solinas M., Ferre S., et. al. Caffeine inducesdopamine and glutamate release in theshell of the nucleus accumbens. J Neurosci(2002) Aug 1; 22(15): 6321-4.

Caffeine and Addiction Adenosine receptor antagonist Arousing action on body
Increased BMR Improved Mood, PerformanceEnhanced dopamine transmission?
RewardingCaffeine withdrawal lasts only about 3-4days
Headache, poor mood, sluggishness
Conclusion: mild euphoriant only slightly addicting in classic sense

Why We Like Hot or Cold Food It is the thrillingness or high sensationof hot or cold foods that we like. In the
mouth they change back to mouthtemperature; hence it is the change intemperature that we like, not theabsolute high or low temps
Bob Hyde, PhD, San Jose State About 80% of all food are eatenhot or cold!

Why is Starbucks so Popular?Starbucks popularity stems (besidesgood marketing) from three basicpoints:
The coffee roast is unique and in someways still is compared to almost all storebrands
Aroma profile long hang time Acidity much lower than most competitiors
Caffeine content is higher than expectedInfinite variety coffee drinks (decreasesSSS)

Why is Starbucks
so Popular? 2To summarize:They serve: Caffeine served in a variety
of ways; but what I see people order is:
Starbucks seems to sell more fat and milk and sugar than coffee!
Caffeine with added sugar, fat & casomorphins

Starbucks Caffeine Driven Researchers found a medium, 16-ounce cupof the house blend at Starbucks packs anaverage of 259 milligrams of caffeinecompared with only 143 milligrams in thesame-sized cup of coffee at Dunkin Donuts
ranging from 259 milligrams to 564 milligrams
300 mg is considered a pharmacologicaldose! Yikes!

Why is Vanilla so Popular?Mild flavor that resists habituation inthe brain
Means: can eat it everyday without SSSinduction
Allows infinite variation on theme
Orange crme, etc.
Vanilla has many high calorieassociations: ice cream, chocolate etc.
Vanilla number one ice cream flavor!

Flame Broiling:
is it better?Generates higher amount of volatilesRicher in fat/protein volatiles
Excite innate fire roasting and survivalmemories in our genome!Some paleobiologists link flame broilingwith our evolutionary past!
FB smell excites memories of pleasantBBQ repasts (Aroma Associations)
I personally think Flame Broiling has higher hedonic potential
Flame broiling truly does make everything taste better. In Vegetarian Grill , Andrea Chesman

Flame Broiling
Meat has little inherent aroma or flavor Aroma generated during cooking:
Fats, protein, sugars, vitamins, acids, glycogenimportantFats are the major generator of meatidentifiable flavors
Lipid oxidation products alsoUnique flavor not easily duplicatedGenerates long hang time volatiles
Better for memory formation
Less generation of undesirable oxidation products
