'Rise of saturated fat in diet does not raise fats in blood' in Medical News Today, 23 Nov 2014, Written by James McIntosh

My comments:
'An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure', so the saying goes. Diabetics are encouraged to reduce their high glycemic index carbs. May be excellent advice for non-diabetics and those predisposed to high sugar diets. For most (today), it's too late for the prevention and other remedies ('a ton of cure') needs to occur. Sounds like the 'experts advice' have driven us to the cliff.

Excerpts:
"Levels of palmitoleic acid - a fatty acid associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and heart disease - decreased in all of the participants during the high-fat/low-carb diets. In contrast, the acid was found to increase as the levels of carbohydrates progressively rose across the duration of the study."

""A higher proportion of plasma saturated fat is related to increased risk of diabetes and heart disease," conclude the authors. "Thus, there is a need to better understand the relationship between dietary and plasma saturated fat."
