“Higher body fat percentage was linked to lower capacity of cytotoxic T cells to use fats and amino acids in two cytotoxic T cell subgroups prepared for immediate immune action. Higher fitness was associated with a greater share of the whole cytotoxic T cell population producing the key immune signaling protein after stimulation.”

“The menus were matched for presented calories, energy density, total sugar, sodium, and fiber, but not added sugar: much more of the ultra-processed diet's sugar was added rather than contained in fruit. Protein was also only approximately matched, at about 14% versus 15.6% of calories.”

“These findings suggest that high vitamin D concentrations decrease myostatin production and increase leptin production, redirecting excess calories to muscle growth instead of fat storage. Learn more about the health benefits of vitamin D in our comprehensive overview article.”

“The body stores MUFAs in lipid droplets – intracellular fat storage depots that facilitate the movement and signaling activities of fatty acids. During times of increased energy demand (such as during exercise) or decreased energy supply (such as during fasting), the fatty acids stored in lipid droplets can be released for the body's use.”

“In a previous study, this team of researchers discovered that avocatin B accumulates in mitochondria of leukemia cells, inhibiting fat oxidation, and inducing cell death. The researchers conducted their study in three phases, including a trial in mice, a laboratory study of pancreatic cells, and a trial in humans.”

“While they did not observe changes in other metabolic markers such as insulin tolerance, they hypothesized that the alterations in fat production by the liver pave the way for metabolic disease development. Link to full report.”

“After five weeks on the diet with avocado, the participants' levels of oxidized LDL cholesterol (especially the small, dense LDL cholesterol particles) were lower than their baseline levels or after completing the low- or moderate-fat diets.”

“This effect was exacerbated by the high-fat/high-sugar diet. However, the researchers found that exercise ameliorated some of the harmful vascular effects of the high-fat/high-sugar diet throughout the lifespan, likely due to lower levels of oxidative stress and inflammation.”

“Participants were at least 20 years old and had completed a detailed dietary recall interview. The researchers linked coffee consumption—whether caffeinated or decaffeinated, with or without added sugar and fat—to death records in the National Death Index.”

“It primarily hinges on the chemical characteristics of two types of coffee compounds—diterpenes and polyphenols. Diterpenes are fat-soluble, meaning they pass through metal filters or remain suspended in espresso and boiled preparations.”
