Healthy Fish Swims in the Sea, not the Pan | 7% Increased Type II Diabetes Risk per Add. Serving/Wk of Fried Fish

Written by | published on

Within the fried fish category the study did unfortunately not distinguish between regularly fried (left) and breaded or otherwise crumbed fried fish. While this may be simply because they simply didn't have the data, it clearly reduces the practical value of the study. Sometimes, eating healthy can be more difficult than you'd think. Let's take your two weekly servings of fish as an example. With fish, there are the issues with nasty heavy metals and plastics in wild-caught and the increased omega-6 fatty acids in farmed fish that I've addressed at length in my 2013 and 2014 articles "Making the Right Fish Choices: Fatty Acid Contents of 33 Different Fish Species" ( read it ) and "Farmed vs. Wild-Caught: Pollutants and A Low Omega-3/6 Ratio" ( read it ). Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Whether or not you will see the full, if any health benefit you certainly will have heard of, will not just depend on making the right fish , but also...

HIIT Sheds 25% Intra-Bellyfat in 32 Workouts - Despite T2DM & W/Out Dieting! Plus: Always 'Add Weights' When Dieting

Written by | published on

High-intensity interval training (HIIT) sheds significantly more belly fat over (-10% vs. 0%) and under (-25% vs. +10%) female abs than isocaloric medium intensity steady state exercise aka MICT. Losing 25% of visceral fat without dieting  and with only two workouts per week (16 weeks x 2 workouts = 32 workouts total)? That sounds like straight from a 'spam ad' on Facebook, right? Well, it is based on scientific evidence, though... evidence from a study in Diabetes & Metabolism  that tested the effects of a very manageable high-intensity interval training regimen (2 x 20 min per week) on abdominal fat mass in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes (Maillard. 2016).c Ok, I have to admit that's different from both, (a) the athletes in the second study that made it into today's SuppVersity short news (the one about maximal fat oxidation) and (b) the average SuppVersity  readers, but knowing the exact protocol, which is different from much (if not everything) y...

High Dose Caffeine Restores Insulin Sensitivity and Limits Total as Well as Visceral Fat Gain Due to High Sugar Diets

Written by | published on

Yes, the study at hand is on caffeine, but the results are relevant for coffee, too. A decade ago, the medical community though coffee would dehydrate you, would make you insulin resistant and would increase your risk of heart disease. Recent studies show that coffee does not negatively affect your hydration status (Killer. 2014), that higher coffee consumption is associated with reduced diabetes risk and increasing your coffee consumption can reduce your risk of T2DM (Akash. 2014) and that a "daily intake of ∼2 to 3 cups of coffee appears to be safe and is associated with neutral to beneficial effects" on coronary heart disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke (O'Keefe. 2013). Against that background it may not be as surprising as it would have been 10 years ago that Joana C. Coelho, et al. (2016) found caffeine to be able to restores insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in high-sucrose diet rats. And yet, I personally believe that it is stil...

The Insulin / Glucagon Ratio and Why Diabetics and People W/ Severe Insulin Resistance Must be Careful With Protein

Written by | published on
Image
You're insulin resistant and trying to lose weight with high protein intakes? Then you got to read this article carefully... High protein diets can help you lose weight while maintaining muscle mass. This should make them the ideal choice of diabetic patients, many of whom are suffering from weight issues that are often not corollary, but rather causatively involved in the development of type II diabetes. Unfortunately, studies in type I diabetics and preliminary evidence from type II diabetics and other insulin resistant individuals suggests that - if the disease has progressed significantly - eating too much protein can be a problem, as well, one that may worsen the ill effects of diabetes. Having high amounts of protein after  fasting  may ruin your glucose levels?! Breakfast and Circadian Rhythm Does Meal Timing Matter? Habits Determine Effects of Fasting Fasting Works - It Does, Right!? Does the Break- Fast-Myth Break? Breakfast? (Un?) Biased Re...

Nutrition Research Update: Stem Cell Treatment For Type II Diabetes, Probiotics and Weight Loss Reviewed (Twice) and D-Xylose Sweet Poison for Superfluous Body Fat

Written by | published on

With the right diet and lifestyle, stem cell treatments, probiotic supplements or xylose-laden "functional foods" wouldn't be necessary in the first place. You're probably used to it, but I am in the mood for bragging: The SuppVersity  is where you'll read about the latest nutrition, exercise and supplement related studies first. In research updates like the one today, I am trying to provide a little more information than in the SV Facebook News , though, where I usually stick only to the main results of studies that have just been published or at least accepted for publication. In today's installment of what I often call the " Short News ", I will discuss three papers that are going to be published in one of the next issues of the peer-reviewed scientific journal Nutrition News . Studies dealing with a pre-clinical, but promising stem cell therapy for diabetics, the verdict on probiotic supplements (including my evaluation of the scientists...
