"就我而言，食品在我的家庭一直是比较关注的问题。"JordanTroisi如是说。他是布法罗大学的研究生并且是本次研究的首席作者。该研究出自于他与

ShiraGabriel合作的一个研究项目。它关注的是可能影响人类情感的物质的东西。有些人用诸如绑定喜爱的电视节目，和流行音乐歌手建立虚拟的关系或浏览亲人的照片来排遣孤独。Troisi和Gabriel想知道爽心食品是否能通过使人们想到他们最亲近和最爱的人，同样达到排遣孤独的效果。

"For me ，food has always played a big role in my family，" says Jordan Troisi，a graduate student at the University of Buffalo，and lead author on the study. The study came out of the research program of his co-author Shira Gabriel. It has non-human things that may affect human emotions. Some people reduce loneliness by bonding with their TV show，building virtual relationships with a pop song singer or looking at pictures of loved ones. Troisi and Gabriel wondered if comfort food could have the same effect making people think of their nearest and dearests.
