How the Food Makers Captured Our Brains.

...

When it comes to stimulating our brains, Dr. Kessler noted, 
individual ingredients aren't particularly potent. But by combining 
fats, sugar and salt in innumerable ways, food makers have 
essentially tapped into the brain's reward system, creating a 
feedback loop that stimulates our desire to eat and leaves us wanting 
more and more even when we're full.
