Doubling Saturated Fat In Diet Does Not Increase It In Blood

[DEAD7]

A new study by researchers at Ohio State University found that dramatically increasing the amount of saturated fat in a person's diet did not increase the amount of saturated fat found in their blood. Professor Jeff Volek, the study's senior author, said it "challenges the conventional wisdom that has demonized saturated fat and extends our knowledge of why dietary saturated fat doesn't correlate with disease."

The study also showed that increasing carbohydrates in the diet led to an increase in a particular fatty acid previous studies have linked to heart disease. Volek continued, "People believe 'you are what you eat,' but in reality, you are what you save from what you eat. The point is you don't necessarily save the saturated fat that you eat. And the primary regulator of what you save in terms of fat is the carbohydrate in your diet. Since more than half of Americans show some signs of carb intolerance, it makes more sense to focus on carb restriction than fat restriction."

Very nice of you to link the article so we could read the details.

It's like these scientists are either stupid or plainly paid by the people who asked them to do the research.

Of course it may not be a lot of saturated fat in the blood from eating a lot of saturated fat because, it turns into CHOLESTEROL in the liver during the first bypass. It is the cholesterol that oxidizes, and hardens, that is the problem, not saturated fat, or cholesterol itself.

Also, of course carbohydrates will cause problems if you don't do nothing but eat, and not active, because it is a quick energy source. Meaning you need to have movement to make use of it, and not cause problems.

Why do we find reasons to not eat the things we need, just because we don't feel like being active? You don't even need to be athletic, just active.

Can you please point out what role the liver plays in the increase of cortisol

I'm not sure if that is towards me but, cortisol is made by the adrenal glands in response to stress. That is a different topic from the OP.
