contrast that with a highly processed diet or even a minimally processed diet and you can get the taste you can get the macronutrients you can get the calories but you don't meaning the brain doesn't really have a sense of it can't directly map taste calories micronutrients on um onto one another and so you can imagine that the neural circuits and here I'm it's a little bit of hypothesizing SL conjecture but that the neural circuits responsible for hunger and satiety would get immensely confused by what's in a highly processed food right a Snickers bar if you like sweets tastes pretty good but it's unclear what's in it except sugar except some you know it's got a certain Snickers bar taste right but if the circuits of the brain are really trying to drive us to get amino acids and micronutrients um for bodily health and repair well then highly processed and even moderately processed food has just got to be pure confusion
