“They observed only minor differences in content with the various cooking methods, but the fish fried in sunflower oil showed a slight increase in polyunsaturated fat content (due to uptake from the oil in which it was fried) and had the lowest omega-3 content of all the fish.”

“Greater visceral abdominal fat was independently associated with increased markers of cerebral small vessel disease in participants without a history of symptomatic cerebrovascular disease.”

“Low BDNF levels were prevalent among those with a higher percentage of body fat, higher fasting glucose levels and triglyceride levels, and increased insulin resistance. The study also found that participants freely consumed 40 percent fewer calories while on the low-carbohydrate diet.”

“Until scientists learn more about the role these different factors play, moderating saturated fat consumption and boosting polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat consumption seems prudent.”

“In two large prospective cohorts, replacing 5 percent of energy from saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat, monounsaturated fat, or whole-grain carbohydrate was associated with lower coronary heart disease risk. Refined carbohydrates did not show the same benefit.”

“Human studies found higher short-term bioavailability for re-esterified triglycerides and much greater ethyl-ester absorption with a high-fat meal. Next, check oxidation and contaminants. Polyunsaturated fish oil can oxidize, while purification can reduce mercury and persistent pollutants such as PCBs.”

“In cancer cells, exposure to both omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fats enhanced fat uptake and storage, which increased lipid peroxidation and induced ferroptosis to a greater extent than saturated or monounsaturated fats.”

“A ketogenic diet, which is high in fat, moderate in protein, and low in carbohydrates, mimics fasting by inducing metabolic switching – the capacity to shift from metabolizing glucose to metabolizing fatty acids.”

“Furthermore, swapping out saturated fat for polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats (like those found in seed and vegetable oils) has neutral or beneficial effects on inflammation, blood glucose, and liver fat.”
