Drinking alcohol may influence cravings for certain foods in a surprising way, study suggests
A recent study suggests that alcohol consumption may influence cravings for savory foods, potentially leading to overeating. Researchers found that people who drink alcohol tend to consume more savory foods and fewer sweet foods, especially when these foods are ultra-processed. The findings indicate that alcohol could contribute to the obesity epidemic by increasing appetites and caloric intake.
- ▪Alcohol consumption is linked to increased cravings for savory foods and reduced cravings for sweet foods.
- ▪People who drink alcohol and consume ultra-processed savory foods may take in 40% more calories than the daily recommendation.
- ▪The study highlights the importance of limiting highly processed foods for adults who drink regularly to reduce the risk of weight gain.
