Fat does not make you fat. That is a myth propagated by food companies when marketing so-called healthy low fat slimming foods. Interestingly, low fat foods are not very appetising so guess what is used to make them more so? Yep, you got it, sugar.Phoenix wrote: Tue Jan 26, 2021 1:59 pm These genes are far better suited to times of food scarcity. Fast forward to the modern diet, packed with sugar and fat, and our genetic make-up quickly becomes a recipe for disaster."
Wiki wrote: Pure, White and Deadly is a 1972 book by John Yudkin, a British nutritionist and former Chair of Nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College, London.[1]
Published in New York, it was the first publication by a scientist to anticipate the adverse health effects, especially in relation to obesity and heart disease, of the public's increased sugar consumption.
At the time of publication, Yudkin sat on the advisory panel of the British Department of Health's Committee on the Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy (COMA).[2] He stated his intention in writing the book in the last paragraph of the first chapter: "I hope that when you have read this book I shall have convinced you that sugar is really dangerous."[3]
The book and author suffered a barrage of criticism at the time, particularly from the sugar industry, processed-food manufacturers, and Ancel Keys, an American physiologist who argued in favour of restricting dietary fat, not sugar, and who sought to ridicule Yudkin's work.[2] In later years, Yudkin's observations came to be accepted
Sorry but that is bullshit. It's why the liver creates bile, to digest.... fat. If you didn't digest fat you would quickly die.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Tue Jan 26, 2021 5:15 pm Yep, sugar is carbohydrate, which turns into fat if you don't burn it off.
The human body can't digest fat that's eaten, it won't make you fat but it will clog your arteries.
I was taught this at school in the 70s and 80s, so hardly a mystery or new thing.
Low fat food is a marketing gimmick, not health food.
If the digestive system could not digest fats then what would the pathway be for fats to get into arteries?Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Tue Jan 26, 2021 5:15 pm Yep, sugar is carbohydrate, which turns into fat if you don't burn it off.

As a follow up single to 'Young, Gifted and Black', it didn't do very well in the charts....
These DNA things are an utter con, they charge you to profile your DNA which they then sell to the highest bidder, and send you some utter tosh about what it means. Stuff like “your stomach expands when full” - no shit.Trinity765 wrote: Tue Jan 26, 2021 7:11 pm I sent my DNA to a company a few years ago and have a dynamic DNA profile. Reading it is a lot like reading my horoscope. From this, I know that my "stomach is more likely to expand after a meal, which hampers my feeling of fullness". Great! But I don't seem to have a bigger appetite than anyone else and I'm not overweight. It references the medical paper "Association of UCP-3 rs1626521 with obesity and stomach functions in human" and it is given one star for scientific reliability, meaning there's not been enough research.
