Very Pedestrian Article on Walnuts

Loved this part

“We don’t often think about how what we eat impacts the activity in our brain,” said the study’s first author Olivia M. Farr, Ph.D., an instructor in medicine in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at BIDMC. “We know people report feeling fuller after eating walnuts, but it was pretty surprising to see evidence of activity changing in the brain related to food cues and, by extension, what people were eating and how hungry they feel.”

Gee, you think?

Isn’t it amazing that these people spend their precious time doing fMRIs of walnut eating but don’t bother to shout from the rooftops that the majority of the western diet is killing us!

Not so hilarious :flushed:
