The saturated fat in foods like bacon, cheese and sugary snacks

impairs the brain's ability to regulate your appetite and

cravings. The danger there is, you don't realize you're full

and keep eating until you're totally

stuffed. Once your other senses are engaged, your body

may actually demand more food. See?

Those fattening foods are even worse for us than we realized!

2 good books on this subject are:
