Written by | published on

I would not expect "red palm olein wonders", but more RPO and less corn oil in the American diet may at least buffer the liver disease burden in the US (the figure is based on data provided by the American Liver Foundation) On Turesday, November 19, 2013, you've learned from a study by Subermaniam et al. about the "anti-rust" effects of coconut oil (if you missed that, you can catch up here ), today, we are going back to Malaysia and the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia and the results of another team of researchers to learn about the effects the various oils have on the "oiling of the liver" (Dauqan. 2013). I guess most of you will remember my previous comments about the critical role of the liver (and its health or disease) in the development of the metabolic syndrome ( read it up ). It is thus by no means irrelevant, whether the chronic ingestion of a certain type of oil will result in MDA levels of 92µmol/g or  27.3µmol/g. Boring!? No, rathe...

Study confirms: The SAD diet yields 'optimal' results (img. forbes.com) Since this post is already lengthy enough, I will spare you how saturated fatty acids have long falsely been accused as the sole driving force of the western obesity epidemic and how the tides appear to be slowly yet steadily appear to be turning, as scientists delve deeper and deeper into the interactions of the total fat content in the diet, its fatty acid composition and the interaction of both with the two other macronutrients and their specific forms and get right to the study at hand. A study that appears in the current issue of the Journal of Lipid Science and deals with the first of the aforementioned interactions. The one that focuses on the total fat content and the individual fatty acid make-up of the diet (Enos. 2012). Fat shoot out: Saturated vs. mono vs. PUFA As Enos et al. point out, the main purpose of their study was to examine the effects of three high fat diets differing only wi...

Image 1: I guess the feed of those boars does not contain any corn oil and is spiked with both bisphenol A and soy bean extract - I mean, how else could you possibly explain those balls? (img dirtybutton.com) Let me start today's post with a few questions: Would you buy a 100% natural product that can lower your estrogen levels by up to -98% , increase the weight of your testes by ~30% and, above all, boost your testosterone levels by a whopping +87% ? I guess, at least all those of you who either have not read or not understood the Intermittent Thoughts episode on estrogen's role in skeletal muscle hypertrophy are just sitting there, nodding their heads... I would yet also venture the guess that this nodding will end pretty abruptly, now that I am about to tell you that this all natural testosterone booster is derived from the powder of 2kg of Glycine max soy beans via methanol extraction, subsequently freeze dried and capped into 600mg caps of which the av...

Body Fat Modulation with Corn Oil & L-Carnitine: What You Can Learn From Your Schnitzel

Written by | published on

Its quite remarkable that, primates aside, swine are among the best models of human metabolism . So, even if you do not feel piggy at all, the fact that pigs just as humans are omnivores, makes them a much better model for metabolic disease than rodents. It is thus not too unrealistic to assume that we can learn something about ourselves from the results of a very recent study published in the Journal of Animal Science ( Apple. 2011 ). Figure 1: American Pork Cuts; quality is determined by corn-oil and carnitine intake of the swine. What lessons can you learn from our pink relatives? Investigating the effects of l -carnitine supplementation on the quality characteristics of fresh pork bellies from pigs fed three levels of corn oil, J.K. Apple and his co-workers observed a linear trend towards decreased belly-firmness with increasing amounts of corn oil (0, 2 or 4%) in the diet. If you look at the average American, his/he...
