Obese people can sense food better--study

Fat people have an intense sense of smell and it might be one of the reasons they gorge on food all the time, a recent study from University of Portsmouth reveals.

According to study researchers, overweight people have a heightened sense of smell for food items compared to other non-food related scents.

The study, published in the journal ‘Chemical Senses,’ explains that these people are more drawn to the smell of food especially after eating meals rather than staying hungry.

Experts suggest that parts of brain involved in sensing odour are also linked to feeding centres in brain which is why people run a higher risk of piling on extra pounds.

Pre-teen girls fast developing eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia

If you thought teenagers are the main targets of eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia, think again. As per a new study report released by support group Overeaters Anonymous GB, girls as young as 10 years old and younger, are fast developing these fatal eating disorders.

Researchers surveyed thousands of young girls about their eating habits and were surprised to find out that more than half of them started developing problems with food at the age of 10 or below.

Commenting on the study findings, a spokesperson for the group said in a press statement, “Some might find the results of the survey shocking. But, as our members have underlined, it is not uncommon for us to see people who developed an eating disorder before they reached their teens.”
