Don't care!!

I love ice cream, so does my dog! See how fast she will eat her chicken if she sees me get ice cream!

The researchers also found that one particular type of fat — palmitic
acid which is found in beef, butter, cheese and milk, is particularly
effective at instigating this mechanism.

I find this very curious, as my experience with low carb eating is the exact opposite: appetite is curbed. It is when eating a low fat/high carb diet that the "eat more" button is ON.

This research seems quite suspect to me.
