According to a study published in Neuropsychopharmacology, umami -- or savory taste -- can cause small changes in the brain that help promote healthy eating behavior in women at risk of obesity.

In the study, researchers evaluated the changes that took place in the brains of healthy young women after they consumed chicken broth with or without monosodium glutamate added.
