Healthy saturated fat?
Why is this a bummer?

Ilic S, Jovanovic L, Pettitt DJ. Sansum Medical Research Institute, Santa Barbara, California 93105, USA. The goal of this study was to determine whether the type of fat plays a role in the glucose response to a meal, independent of the carbohydrate content. Ten gestational diabetic women (gestational weeks 29-34) who were well controlled on diet alone were randomized as to the order in which they would eat a meal, after overnight fast, containing saturated fat (SF) or monounsaturated fat (MUFA). Blood was drawn at 0, 60, 120, and 180 min for plasma glucose, insulin, lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol) and free fatty acids. After 2 weeks, each patient received the other type of meal. The test meal was composed of 20% of the total daily caloric needs based on ideal body weight. The area under the curve showed a significantly lower glucose concentration for SF meal (p = 0.001). Serum insulin concentrations followed the glucose response with the peak at the 60-min time point and a significantly lower concentration at the 180-min time point in the SF than in the MUFA group. The present study demonstrated that the addition of SF to the meal resulted in lower postprandial glucose and insulin than when the meal contained MUFA. Thus, SF may be useful in controlling postprandial glucose. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |

Healthy saturated fat?
Bob in CT generously shared with us this little ditty:
Why is this a bummer? I am thinking 'tongue in cheek'. I imagine hearing some such comments echo across the landscape of the so-called health-conscious types-- you know the ones who eat wheat germ and have heart palpitations at the thought of fat in their food and believe a glass of sugar water with a smidge of vitimin c in it is good for you. As in: oh gee, lookitthis, too bad it will kill you with heart disease while it manages your diabetes! -- revek I'll deny anything! |

I suspect, based on my current readings, that saturated fat is maligned unfairly. That was the basis for the humorous attitude, so see saturated fat perform pretty well. I was surprised that saturated fat worked BETTER THAN OTHER FATS. That, to be, is counterintuitive. Why does it work better? I do not know. i Personally, I'm surprised that saturated fat is bad, simply from a chemical perspective. Saturated fat means that all possible locations on the fat are filled. To me, this should yield a relatively inert substance. However, the body isn't always logical. -- Bob in CT Remove ".x" to reply |
