Description
Summary:Background: Energy homeostasis is not an easy algebraic sum of energy intake and energy spending, where it is a dynamic process affected by affects by the relation between energy expenditure and food intake. By complex nervous system including the hypothalamic centers and peripheral satiety system the energy homeostasis is controlled. Peripheral satiety mechanisms released peptides and hormones which in turn regulate metabolism or impacts on satiation. Sweet foods have high calories disrupts appetite regulation and induce the pleasure and reward system, so, it count to be an main source of stimulation that may leads to overeat and contribute to the evolution of the obesity. Sweet foods consume impact on hunger-satiety mechanism, assisting starting of consumption in absence of energy needs and keeping of feeding in spite of intake of huge food loads that risk homeostasis. consumption of too much amounts of sweet foods depend  on mechanisms that advance behaviors addictive-like, and on bypassing the neuroendocrine cues that protect inner environment.
