Fats

The excessive use of fats has been linked to development of diabetes. 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 diabetes by three times. Fat rich diet
especially one saturated with animal fat
seems to damage the insulin’s effectiveness. Research at the University of Sydney in Australia measured the saturated fatty acids in the muscles cells of older non-diabetic men and the women undergoing surgery and found that higher the presence of saturated fatty acids in the cells
the greater the insulin resistance. On the other hand
higher tissue levels of polyunsaturated fats
particularly fish oil
indicated better insulin activity and lower resistance. Fish oil differs from animal fats in that fish oil contains polyunsaturated fatty acids. One of the fatty acids called omega-3 is especially good 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 effectively overcame their insulin resistance.

In another study
Jennifer Lovejoy
assistance professor 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 remaining 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 efficiency and boost their vulnerability to diabetes.

Meat and Meat Foods

One of the most important nutrition guidelines to follow is to “eat less 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 diabetes have a greater risk of heart disease earlier in life. The practically useless calories added by saturated fats contribute to above normal body weight and obesity
putting a diabetic at greater of heart disease.

Flesh foods are extremely harmful for diabetes. 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 matter and poisons. Chemical analysis has shown that uric acid and other uric poisons contained in the animal body are almost identical to caffeine and nicotine
the poisonous
stimulating principles of coffee
tea and tobacco.

The renowned journal Lancet
reports that a patient of diabetes must be persuaded to consume less animal foods. However
in cold countries where meat and mat products constitute the bulk of the diet
patients of diabetes should limit their intake of animal products to eggs and white meal like fish and poultry. Even their use of should be kept to the minimum; all red meat and red meat products should be eliminated from the diet.
