RE: Researchers Identify New Cause of Insulin Resistance

[Guest guest]

Very interesting. Thanks.

But nothing about diet. It's not surprising that people on poor diets with

T-2 diabetes have children on poor diets that have markers for T-2 diabetes.

They mention defects lipid metabolism. What is it that polyunsaturated oils

do that is harmful. Don't they force the fats out into areas where they

don't belong? Could this be a reason for the defective lipid metabolism? I

don't eat PUFAs so never paid more than a passing interest in what I read

about them.

This line what got me. " These new findings identify potential new targets

for drugs. . . "

It sounds to me as if they are looking for another market for drugs.

This talks about ATP.

Judith,

More sense here than fiber with fatty acid oxidation, imo

Drug route with this rather than food or supplements is the usual

disappointing conclusion. I agree it looks like PUFAs and /or trans fats are

doing this. Didn't know anything about them until a few years ago. Had no

clue Crisco or bottled oil wasn't the same as the lard we had growing up.

Mom's diabetic, have controlled my hypoglycemia with diet. This does concern

me with our youngest daughter because of what I read in The Good Fat

Cookbook. Fran Mc Cullough notes Bruce Fife N.D. describing liver spots,

which I got on my right lower back carrying her as omega 3 imbalance. That

the fetus will steal Mom's DHA if mom's diet is deficient, which it was.

Also her easy bruising when young as too much omega 3. Tried vitamin c and

bioflavanoids which didn't work. Homeopathic arnica did then. Looks like

nature gave her what she needed. Easier getting me to take omega 3s.
