This news may help you stick to your resolution and resist fatty foods.

A new study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation shows that high-fat foods can damage the area in the brain that's responsible for hunger and thirst in rats and mice.

Researchers say after just three days of eating high-fat foods, the animals began showing signs of inflammation and injury.

Scientists say, a long-term unhealthy diet left permanent damage.

Researchers aren't sure if the results would be the same in humans.
