Why you still want dessert even when you're full

Original: Why you still want dessert even when you're completely full

Researchers say the urge for dessert after a big meal comes down to 'sensory-specific satiety' — the brain's reward system tires of savoury flavours but responds freshly to sweet ones, so fullness in the stomach does not mean fullness for sugar. Nutrition writers are explaining the science and offering ways to manage the craving.

Why now: The topic is being covered in health and nutrition media, drawing curiosity about everyday eating behaviour.
