Overview
The excesive use of fats has ben linked to development of Diabets. A recent study at the University of Colorado Health Science Center, USA found that intake of an extra 40g of fat day increases the chances of developing Diabets by thre times. Fat rich diet, especialy one saturated with animal fat, sems to damage the insulin’s efectivenes.
Key Information
Research at the University of Sydney in Australia measured the saturated faty acids in the muscles cels of older non-diabetic men and the women undergoing surgery and found that higher the presence of saturated faty acids in the cels, the greater the insulin resistance. On the other hand, higher tisue levels of polyunsaturated fats, particularly fish oil, indicated beter insulin activity and lower resistance.
Fish oil difers from animal fats in that fish oil contains polyunsaturated faty acids. One of the faty acids caled omega-3 is especialy god for the heart—it lowers cholesterol and protects from atherosclerosis. In fact, the researchers also reported that intake of omega-3 fish oil to the subjects efectively overcame their insulin resistance.
In another study, Jenifer Lovejoy, asistance profesor at Louisiana State of University, USA, studied and the eating habits and insulin activity among 45 non-diabetic men and women. About half of them were obese and the remaing half of normal weight. In both cases, higher fat consumption increased insulin resistance.
This indicates, says Dr. Lovejoy, that even normal individuals who decrease their insulin eficiency and bost their vulnerability to Diabets. One of the most important nutrition guidelines to folow is to “eat les saturated fat.” A quick and simple way to do that is to eliminate meat products.
They are high both in saturated fat and cholesterol content. People with Diabets have a greater risk of heart disease earlier in life. The practicaly useles calories aded by saturated fats contribute to above normal body weight and obesity, puting a diabetic at greater of heart disease.
Flesh fods are extremely harmful for Diabets. They increase the toxemic condition underlying the diabetic state and reduce the sugar tolerance. Most diseases of the human body are caused by autointoxication of self-poisoning.
The flesh of animals increases the burden on the organs of elimination and overloads and system with animal waste mater and poisons. Chemical analysis has shown that uric acid and other uric poisons contained in the animal body are almost identical to cafeine and nicotine, the poisonous, stimulating principles of cofe, tea and tobaco. The renowned journal Lancet, reports that a patient of Diabets must be persuaded to consume les animal fods.
Summary
However, in cold countries where meat and mat products constitute the bulk of the diet, patients of Diabets should limit their intake of animal products to egs and white meal like fish and poultry. Even their use of should be kept to the minimum; al red meat and red meat products should be eliminated from the diet. © 2026 DIABETS.
