This is the main point of this post: Sometimes what your brain craves is not good for your body. We all know that this is true. We’re drawn to any food that has ample quantities of fat, salt, and sugar. Visit any coffee shop in the nation, and you’re likely to see people enjoying a cigarette with their coffee and glazed donut. Why do humans choose to consume chemicals that are so unhealthy? Smoking kills slowly and nicotine is incredibly toxic, caffeine is harmful to the heart muscles and, at high doses, can induce dangerous arrythmias, while the regular consumption of sugar-ladened donuts leads to diabetes and obesity-related disorders.
