The answer lies in the peculiarities of the liver.. The largest gland contains a hormone that determines a person's cravings for sweets.. Cell Metabolism writes about the research results.

“Our discovery may lead to the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a universal remedy for alcoholism, overeating, diabetes, as well as various other diseases associated with metabolic disorders in the human body.. But it must be remembered that the neurons that FGF21 affects are associated with human mood..

Therefore, it is important to determine if the hormone FGF21 will cause depression, "

Doctors knew about the existence of the hormone before, but did not assume that it affects anything other than the body's response to insulin. FGF21 enters the hypothalamus, as a result of which a person ceases to feel cravings for sweets. If there is no hormone, we want to eat something sweet..

The hormone has a similar effect on the predisposition to alcoholism.. People without FGF21 have significantly higher alcohol cravings. Conversely, with high FGF21 concentrations, people are generally not likely to drink alcohol..
