The American scientists conducted a study involving 31 students with a body mass index less than 30 and found that malnutrition during childhood leads to overeating in adulthood.
As part of the experiment, the girls were given a bowl of chocolate chip cookies and a bowl of pretzels and offered to taste the products. So far, the researchers recorded data, participants could eat up leftover food. Then students completed a questionnaire in which they had to remember his childhood, and to evaluate it in accordance with the three statements: “My family had enough money”, “My family seemed to be better off than families of other children” and “The people around were richer my family. »
After the end of the survey experimenters estimate the remaining contents of the bowls. It was found that students who grew up in poorer families ate more cookies and pretzels than those who considered his childhood comfortably, reports “Times».
