A poor description in a press release is nothing new. IMHO, they figured out a cell signaling pathway for inflammation and insulin resistance. Does it apply to all saturated fatty acids? Maybe we'll find out soon enough. Check the dates it was received and accepted. It wasn't very long between those dates.
Fatty acid–induced NLRP3-ASC inflammasome activation interferes with insulin signaling
Combined immunology and diabetes lists, FReepmail me if you want on or off either list.
The advocates of very low carb diets claim that it is not the fat that is to blame, but the carbs with the fat. I wonder if they accounted for other aspects of the diet, or if they just assumed it was the fat?
So much research is contradictory, that it makes one wonder if they really know anything.
