ImpactHigh impact

There is a consensus that these findings could influence dietary guidelines and understanding of metabolic health, suggesting the discussion's significance.

Abstract in brief

  • This study examined how a diet high in trans fatty acids (TFAs) affects body fat and insulin function in monkeys, finding that TFA intake leads to increased abdominal fat and signs of insulin resistance over six years, even without overeating.
  • Monkeys eating TFA-rich diets gained more weight and stored more fat in the abdomen, with evidence of impaired glucose metabolism, such as higher post-meal insulin and glucose levels, along with reduced activity in key insulin signaling pathways.
  • The findings suggest that consuming trans fats can promote fat accumulation around the abdomen and disrupt insulin sensitivity independently of calorie intake, potentially contributing to metabolic health issues like diabetes.

Можно и калории посчитать, и БЖУ учесть, но, как ни крути, жиры и углеводы из бургера или из орехов и булгура — это разные жиры и углеводы с разными энергетическими последствиями. https://t.co/7RvkLNbcGn

Have you read the data?

@robertlufkinmd A fascinating study just came out on monkeys. Yes, an animal study, but read it. Linking trans fats as the #1 cause of insulin resistance. Guess what, seed oils have trans fats. There's your correlation and your causation. https://t.co/undOpRyP0q

@GlassockJ There was a study in monkeys showing increased intra-abdominal fat when they consumed trans-fatty acids as opposed to monounsaturated cis isomers, independent of calorie excess: https://t.co/PIzkpvQ7ns

These fats are associated with inflammation (https://t.co/EkObkC4vnR), heart disease (https://t.co/HJI9v8bdc6), insulin resistance, (https://t.co/NHZJjFQGqH) and belly fat gain (https://t.co/fi95TOO7Ju)

This may explain why belly fat is hard to lose. Wilhelm Normann, the chemist who created this stuff, did not do humanity a favor. https://t.co/1Zu9I9Nn4C
