The subjective signals of what one tells themselves about the foods they're eating can actually impact how those foods will taste and the way in which the body utilizes those foods, especially when it comes to promoting brain health. Additionally, eating progressively sweeter and highly palatable foods can shift the dopamine system, making those foods the only ones that trigger the reward system and taste good.

Summary
The dopamine system in our brain is activated when we consume foods that are sweet or highly palatable, leading us to believe that these are the only foods that can trigger this reward system. However, by making simple alterations in our dietary choices over time, we can rewire our brain to find less palatable foods attractive and rewarding.
