人类曾万年只喝水,直到“现代饮品时代”降临。牛奶与啤酒谁才是老祖宗?从考古残骸到基因秘密,揭秘饮料如何重塑我们的身体与文化。
Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a mammoth announcement.
In 2000, food science researchers found something surprising about a part of our diet so basic, we don't even really think of it as a thing.
They fed a group of people 450 calories in jellybeans – best experiment ever – while they gave the other group a drink with 450 calories.
And the group that ate solid food responded pretty much how you'd expect: they felt full.
They even reduced their eating for the rest of the day by about 450 calories.
But the group that drank their calories…didn't.
They went on eating as normal – and some even ate more than usual.
Scientists ran similar experiments again and again – and they repeatedly found the same thing: drinks don't make us full.
Now, researchers aren't 100% sure why.
It might be that liquids enter our intestines faster than food.
