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, including psychological, behavioral, genetic, and physiological factors that contribute to its desirability, perception, intake, and impact on human health. Bringing together cross-disciplinary research, it includes information on genetic predisposition, neural imaging, endocrine impacts on metabolism, and also provides a progressive integrated view on fat taste, fat preference, and nutrition at the molecular level.
