Daily Weight Loss Tips

Scientists discovered that there is a tongue receptor that can taste fat and make us crave it. It is controlled by the CD36 gene. According to the researcher Nada Abumrad, there is evidence that people have different amounts of that receptor, therefore some people tend to crave fatty foods more than others.

In the future, scientists might develop therapies that control the amounts and levels of the CD36 receptor, reducing the cravings for fat.
