Summary

This study looks at why some children are less affected by food advertising than others. Researchers will use brain scans and eating tests in 200 kids aged 7-9 to find traits that protect against overeating. The goal is to understand what makes certain children resilient to food-cue triggered overeating, which could help prevent childhood obesity.
