It appears a high fat diet changes cells to better use fats, while compromising their ability to work with sugars.

The Standard American Diet (SAD) that has causes so many endemic health issues is both high fat AND high sugars/carbs. That combination appears to have a toxic beginning.

Isn’t the Keto diet high fat?

I have started a lifestyle change due to my weight. Lost 15 in last 12 days. No more high fat foods, no more 2-3 30 oz dirt my fees every day, no chips, no junkfood. Just baked fish and chicken and lots of veggies and drink a gallon of water every day

I cannot believe the difference I feel in just 12 days. My ankles were swollen every night, that has gone away

I can't go into details (self-censure for the book), but the devil is within (such posts are very illuminating of the obvious, perhaps intentional ignorance of normally-intelligent 'scientists'):

dietary components high in saturated fats such as red meat are thought to be risk factors for colon cancer.

They implicate red meats and obfuscate with Long Chain Fatty Acid (LCFA). You & I know the nature of LCFA; for the record, since the paper fails to cite the nature of their oft-repeated "high fat diet":

Saturated fatty acids:
Myristic acid or tetradecanoic acid (C14:0) (in nutmeg)
Palmitic acid or hexadecanoic acid (C16:0) (in palm, palm kernel and coconut oil)
Arachidic acid or eicosanoic acid (C20:0) (in peanut and corn oil)
Monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acids:
Oleic acid (C18:1)
Erucic acid (C22:1) (in rapeseed, wallflower seed, and mustard seed)
Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Omega-3:
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or timnodonic acid (C20:5) (in oily fish and fish oil)
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or cervonic acid (C22:6) (in oily fish and fish oil, microalgae Crypthecodinium cohnii)
Omega-6:
Linoleic acid (C18:2) (in seeds and oils: poppy seed, safflower, sunflower, corn oil)

Long-Chain Fatty Acids (LCFA)

I'll take "What long chain fatty acids are prolific in the SAD?" for $1 Trillion, Alex.

Thanks for posting!

I am calling BS here. Or penny wise, dollar foolish.

What makes the difference? Our immune system. There was a stat that I read that if we live to be 70 years old, we will all have had cancer. Most of us won't know if because our immune system will have knocked it back.

And the diet that is continuing to be pushed by people who do these studies is the Food Pyramid. The Food Pyramid is a cobbled together nonscientific mess of government bureaucrats arbitrarily picking foods that are “good for us” and foods that are not, brain dead medial professionals and the system, and weird religious organizations. As far as I am concerned, the system that produced the Food Pyramid are idiots and not to be trusted.

Back to my point: the Food Pyramid and high carb, low fat diets destroy a humans immune system. It makes people extremely obese, insulin resistant, diabetic and that is at the root of a compromised immune system that allows cancer to progress.

Yes. High fat high sugar diets cause health problems. High sugar low fat diets cause health problems. But you never see one of these “studies” which compares high fat low sugar diet outcomes to the outcomes of the other two diets.

There’s a reason for that. It would show that sugar is the problem, not fat.

while compromising their ability to work with sugars.

Which is why people on the Keto (High Fat) diet avoid sugar and their counterpart carbs. In fact it is the only way I can keep blood sugar under 200.
