Hyperpalatable food
Food that triggers the brain's reward system
Hyperpalatable food
Hyperpalatable food (HPF) combines high levels of fat, sugar, sodium, or carbohydrates (excluding dietary fiber) to trigger the brain's reward system, encouraging excessive eating. The concept of hyperpalatability is foundational to ultra-processed foods, which are usually engineered to have enjoyable qualities of sweetness, saltiness, or richness. Hyperpalatable foods can stimulate the release of metabolic, stress, and appetite hormones that play a role in cravings and may interfere with the body's ability to regulate appetite and satiety.
