Taking a multidisciplinary approach, this volume sheds new light on critical concerns regarding dietary fat and its relation to obesity. Going far beyond the well-known concerns, it offers new scientific data on the many aspects of fat consumption including psychological, behavioral, genetic, and physiologic factors that contribute to its desirability, perception, intake, and impact on human health. Bringing together research from across various fields, it includes information on genetic predisposition, neural imaging, endocrine function impacts on metabolism, and provides a progressive integrated view on fat taste,fat preference, and nutrition at the molecular level.
