8、e, dont blame it on greed, blame it on her brain.Scientists have found that womens brains react to food very differentlyand much more stronglythan mens. Academics found that decades of dieting pressure on women and advertising have programmed certain parts of the female brain to react strongly when
9、faced with any kind of food. Men, on the other hand, are not usually as obsessive (着迷的 ) about what they eat.Dr. Rudolf Uher and his colleagues at the Institute of Psychiatry in Kings College London used brain scanning technology, known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI), to look at the
10、 brains of eighteen men and women.The volunteers were given images of food to look at, as well as food to taste. Their brain reactions were observed by the scientists.They found that the female brains reacted much more strongly than those of males.The same reaction did not happen when they were show

If the female brain reacts to food because it historically has developed neural (神经的 ) pathways to do this, then food will be the way they express their stress. Food actually, is a comfort for women.”But other experts have said that
14、 more research must be done before the results can be proved. American scientist Angelo del Parigi of the John B. Pierce Laboratory in New Haven, Connecticut, said, “Looking at an FMRI alone cannot make sure whether the stronger reaction in women is due to innate (天生的) differences or a learned proce
