Bioactive lipids in metabolic syndrome: Scientific literature
review on dietary fats and oils that help with decreasing metabolic disorders such as abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension and insulin sensitivity that increase risk of cardiovascular disease.
27 Studies cited by the 2010 DGAC Report demonstrate varied metabolic responses to lowered
dietary saturated
fat, with certain subpopulations exhibiting adverse rather than improved health outcomes.3 Two recent comprehensive meta - analyses indicate that saturated
fat is not linked to heart disease.28, 29 In fact, in a definitive
review of forty - eight clinical trials, with over sixty - five thousand participants, the reduction or modification of
dietary fat had no effect
on mortality, cardiovascular mortality, heart attacks, stroke, cancer, or diabetes.30 Yet, avoiding saturated
fat remains a cornerstone of national
dietary guidance.
My negative comments regarding the high
fat low carb paleo diet are based
on a
review of
dietary guidelines around the globe in regards to SFA.
Based
on the nutritional research I've
reviewed, a
dietary fat intake of about 0.3 grams per pound of
fat - free mass is all your body needs for its basic health needs.
